Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. The QueerAF newsletter is written by Jamie Wareham and a different queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Social Media Ban: We look at campaigners’ warnings that a social media ban could do more harm than good, and disproportionately affect LGBTQIA+ youth.
- NHS Battleground: Employment tribunals against the NHS from gender-critical employees are stacking up. We connect the dots behind the stories.
- Nan knows best: Grandparents are often underestimated in the fight for queer rights. For our Inclusive Journalism Cymru scheme, Taya Mwah sets out why we shouldn’t forget them in the fight ahead.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Social media ban is "reactionary measure" that will harm LGBTQIA+ youth, campaigners warn
TLDR: A social media ban would disproportionately affect LGBTQIA+ young people, who rely on the platforms to connect with other queer people in ways that their heterosexual counterparts aren’t reliant on, campaigners are warning.
