Goal
Members are critical to our sustainability.
We don't accept advertising on our platform, or in our newsletter so we can make journalism that counts, without outside pressures.
Instead, recurring memberships help ensure we have the ongoing support we need to plan ahead. It helps us create award-winning schemes that benefit LGBTQIA+ creatives, like our top-rated newsletter and award-winning podcast.
78% of members choose an annual plan to secure the future our work with one easy payment. In return, we give you early access to content, the chance to directly commission an article, and we'll list your name next to the content you fund.
Your name
Claim your perks to see your name listed by the content you've funded. We can't do our unique approach to queer journalism without you.
Be the editor
This is our track record. We're transparent because our readers our our most valuable editors. And as a member, you're in charge.
As a community interest company, we reinvest our funds into supporting queer creatives and creating LGBTQIA+ content that counts.
What our members say
We're loved by senior media professionals, queer business owners, LGBTQIA+ community leaders and all kinds of queer folk.
What our creatives say
"I loved the whole process, there are few places and organisations that have made it this easy for me to work with them. Plus the fact that I could write about what was important to me and that I didn't have to justify why." - Shivani Dave
Even the most established journalists struggle to find time to sit down and speak to their editor, but we make time. Our 'retro' sub-editing session empowers writers to be in control of their work and improve their craft.
It's been described as "like therapy, but for writing" - and it's helping:
"I found it a very useful in depth look at why we're writing the story instead of the usual faceless editing."
"Great opportunity to understand the editing process, writing tips and tricks - a bucket full of creative advice!"
"I loved the process and how helpful you've been to a novice writer."
After working with 20 creatives, 90% gave us a perfect score on our communication and approach. The retro's average rating is 9.8/10.
Our approach is award-winning and industry recognised across multiple platforms, including our newsletter and podcast scheme.

FAQs
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, absolutely. Get in touch in the first 30 days of your membership or renewal, and we'll give you a full refund. After that, we can offer a refund for any months remaining on your membership.
It's busy out there, we get it. So, know that you're covered if your membership renews by accident or you didn't cancel in time. Peace of mind? Check.
Can I cancel or change my subscription?
Super easy. Just log into your account to change your plan, or cancel your membership with just a couple of clicks. No contracts, no nonsense.
It's in your control, and you don't have to contact us to stop payments. Subscriptions renew automatically but if one is taken that you weren't prepared for, get in touch.
Is the archive exclusive to members?
Yes, one of the perks of membership is access to the full archive of 60+ QueerAF newsletter posts and exclusive member-only updates on our work.
Information about LGBTQIA+ lives shouldn't be a luxury so our newsletter is free to read in your inbox. But if you can support us as a member, you'll get access to the entire archive and keep the newsletter free for everyone else.
I have more questions, can I contact you?
Of course - hit us up with: soareyou@wearequeeraf.com or use the easy contact form on our FAQ page.
Don't hesitate, we're all about emails.
It's so handy to have a digest of all the LGBTQIA+ news in one email! Also the commentary cuts through the mainstream media spin and presents what's going on in a way that resonates with our community
