June is national LGBT pride month. Young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can face bullying and even homelessness after coming out to their families or classmates. NMiF producer Sarah Gustavus talks with a student and local leaders about what is being done to address these issues and protect students in New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the LA Times covered a new report on the <strong>suicide rate among female veterans<\/strong>. The report highlighted the need to look closer at the mental health needs and issues faced by women when they serve and after they come home. What does this mean for female veterans in New Mexico? Sarah Gustavus sits down with Patricia Gaston from the group Women Veterans of New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Host Gene Grant and the line opinion panelists react to this week&#8217;s <strong>special session of the New Mexico legislature<\/strong>. Lawmakers approved a capital outlay bill that stalled in the regular session earlier this spring. The panelists also discuss Attorney General Hector Balderas&#8217; investigation into the justice system and the future of the New Mexico Rail Runner Express.<\/p>\n<p><em>GUESTS:<\/em><br \/>\nAmber Royster, Executive Director of <a href=\"http:\/\/eqnm.org\/\">Equality New Mexico<\/a><br \/>\nErin Northern, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glsen.org\/chapters\/albuquerque\">Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN)<\/a><br \/>\nRobyn Weekooty, high school junior<br \/>\nPatricia Gaston, Ret.
