The NLGJA, an association of LGBTQ media professionals, is a great resource, no exception this week.

"Don’t assume someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Instead, ask the person when interviewing them how they identify if it is germane to the story.

"Don’t use 'gay' to include lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer. It is acceptable to use 'gay' in headlines for space, but make sure to explain it further in the story."

Critical guidelines for all newsrooms covering the shooting attack at the LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs.

"Respect the victims, but do not rush to “straight-wash” who was injured or killed. Be fair and accurate when covering the individuals killed or injured."
