Every Saturday we send you a TLDR of the queer world, bursting with LGBTQIA+ content - all while we support queer creatives.
💬 This week:
- What. A. Week. Our top story has changed at least four times! We have a look at so much news this week - from the first trans MP to the media's role in multiple U-turns on banning so-called "conversion therapy."
- Trans Day of Visibility. Our antidote to the news? Gender euphoria. We bring together some of the best Trans Day of Visibility content.
- Queer Parivaar. This week's Queer Gaze reflects on BFI Flare and asks filmmakers to stop telling our story for everyone - and just tell queer stories for us.
Skip the doom scrolling. Let us work out the queer world for you. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
