💬 This week:
- Brianna Ghey. The trial of the teenager's alleged murder began this week. We examine the hysterical press response.
- EHRC. The equality body’s status is again under question on the international stage, this time for its advice to the government around the definition of sex. We help you understand what it means.
- Panto Panic. Writing from the land of the Panto dames a look at the real reason behind the moral panic around drag queens. Ri Baroche explains in the queer gaze.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
