Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives.
This week QueerAF is written by your friendly sub-editor Rowan Gavin, with a Queer Gaze from the archive by Jaron Soh.
💬 This week:
- Labour: In a tumultuous week for the party, we wade through the scandals to figure out what it could mean for ongoing struggles around LGBTQIA+ rights.
- Charlie Kirk: The right-wing activist’s shooting is the leading headline out of another week of dramatic US news. We cut through the misinformation to bring you what you need to know.
- Against transphobia, against racism: With another wave of anti-migrant and anti-muslim protest taking place this summer, we return to Jaron Soh’s piece from the Queer Gaze archive to explore the relationship between forms of prejudice.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.

With party leadership facing multiple scandals, the timeline for implementing the Equality Watchdog’s new code of practice - billed as the next step in segregation of Trans+ people - is unclear.
