Want to tack onto this the importance of developing and valuing trust with LGBTQ sources, many of whom are often sharing personal stories of identity; interviewing with patience and an open mind; and acknowledging how much media literacy and experience varies among individuals.
Journalists who will cover pride: Be aware that pseudo journalists have been targeting trans/queer/gender nc people. Be aware that your potential sources may be on high alert of media & your intentions. Be prepared to explain your angle & share your credentials. Be kind + patient

An important consideration on the Hill where interns rarely get paid enough to cover housing, let alone buy expensive clothes for work. Support low income students in their career endeavors- they often work twice as hard as their peers to get where they are in the first place!
It’s *intern season* in Washington
I used to harshly judge intern outfits - revealing or schlubby. But realized that if you’re not surrounded by adults with “professional” wardrobes at home / don’t have $$ to spend on key pieces, it’s hard to know how to dress “appropriately”
