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:
- Investigations: You asked us to make it a priority, and you showed up to help raise the funds - now we're ready to deliver. Today, we launch a new scheme to invest in a new generation of LGBTQIA+ journalists and fill a growing news gap that our community faces.
- Veterans: A government scheme is using a loophole to deny compensation to people forced out of the armed forces for being gay. We explore the legal action it's facing.
- Olympics: Amid vast discussion about the IOC's ban and plan to restart sex testing, which it ended after its own report deemed it harmful, we return to a Queer Gaze that looks at why gender is one of the most arbitrary lines to divide sport categories by for fairness.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Investigative journalism is the lifeblood of LGBTQIA+ activism, so we're investing in a new generation of journalists to deliver it to you
TL;DR: QueerAF is launching a new scheme, to invest in marginalised LGBTQIA+ journalists, that as well as delivering talent opportunities, mentoring and training, will fill a growing news gap the LGBTQIA+ community faces
