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:
- EHRC AI use: Following leaked conversations and allegations that AI could lead to ignoring some responses to the Equality Watchdog's consultation on segregating Trans+ people from bathrooms, the regulator has confirmed it’s implemented "supervised use of AI".
- Labour split: Are Trans+ rights set to divide the party that many once cautiously considered an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community? We explore analysis of member and MP responses to the Supreme Court ruling.
- Online Safety Act: Could restrictions on 'adult content' be a pathway for banning LGBTQIA+ content too? Our resident sub-editor Rowan Gavin explores in the Queer Gaze.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
