The Buckeye Flame is a state-wide LGBT community-oriented online news website based in northern Ohio.[1] The website updates online regularly, and news recaps are distributed in a weekly newsletter, which makes this the largest LGBTQ news source in the state of Ohio.[2][3] The website debuted in June 2020.[4][5]

History

The Buckeye Flame launched in 2020, and this followed the closure of Ohio's printed LGBTQ news magazine, Prizm.[4][5]

Since its creation, The Buckeye Flame has published LGBTQ news articles on a number of topics. Topics have included gender affirming care,[6] conversion therapy bans,[7] LGBTQ sports content,[8] and more.[3] Additionally, The Buckeye Flame regularly covers content related to anti-LGBTQ legislation at the local and state-wide level across Ohio.[2]

The Buckeye Flame is associated with several professional organizations, including the Institute for Nonprofit News, other journalist groups, and Ohio's LGBTQ chamber of commerce.[1] Occasionally, they co-publish higher profile material with other Ohio-based sources, such as The Cleveland Scene.[9]
