Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week the QueerAF newsletter is written by Rowan Gavin.
💬 This week:
- “Appalling”: That’s how the Department for Health described puberty blockers being used by Trans+ youth, in response to questions from QueerAF this week. We investigate the context of this escalation of language.
- Elections: We’re still waiting on full results from the UK local elections at time of writing, but we bring you some early analysis of what results could mean for LGBTQIA+ lives.
- Trans+ History Week: It’s here! We’ve been publishing Trans+ history stories all week – check out an excerpt from the latest in this newsletter, plus a sneak peek at the live podcast we recorded this week with Trans+ Big Brother contestants past and present.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
