What QueerAF is up to, as a non-profit mission-led publisher
Our small but mighty publisher (the UK's only non-profit, press-regulated LGBTQIA+ news provider) has achieved a great deal in just a few years since launching in 2021, without the profits and developed audiences the UK’s legacy gay media have. We've:
- Invested in, mentored, paid and published over 100 marginalised queer creatives. Six in ten of these are from a gender-diverse background, three in ten with disabilities.
- Launched Trans+ History Week to end the pernicious lie that being gender diverse is a modern contagion, with nationwide campaigns declaring that ‘We’ve Always Been Here, and Always Will Be’, hybrid events and international national media coverage.
- Been recognised by the World Health Organisation as a crucial part of the response to the Global North MPOX break out, delivering community journalism and holding the government to account.
- Launched the careers of journalists and audio producers by directly facilitating bylines and commissions with national media like Virgin Radio and the Metro.
- Championed grassroots news, investigated the NHS, exposed government failures and set news agendas for the UK LGBTQIA+ news that matters most to the community, not for clicks.
And we do all that thanks to the growing membership of thousands of QueerAF readers, many who pay for our newsletter - so we can keep it free for everyone.
We know not everyone is in a position to pay for news, but if you are - please consider upgrading today, and help us change the media to change the country.
