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.
π¬ This week:
- PinkNews: The beleaguered LGBTQIA+ news organisation is reported to be moving to a 'reporter free newsroom', sparking fears that journalists at the organisation are set to be cut.
- TL;DRs: Weβve got an additional one to do better justice to the weekβs busy news agenda. We look at a series of court updates, opposition to changes by the International Olympic Committee, and an anti-trans bill in India.
- History: The past teaches us that gender disruption does not always equal gender liberation. In collaboration with Inclusive Journalism Cymru and Trans+ History Week, Llinos Anwyl brings us the story of the 19th century Welsh βRebecca Riotsβ.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF β and so are you.

The brand has been besiged by serious allegations against its senior team, which they've long denied, as well as navigating changing media habits.
