Understand the LGBTQIA+ news: Church of England, the Grammys and trans prisoners

QueerAF

Every Saturday, QueerAF helps you understand the queer headlines and stay on top of the latest LGBTQIA+ content - all while we support queer creatives. This week, it's written by Matilda Davies, while Jamie takes a well-deserved break, and another queer creative as usual.

πŸ’¬ This week:

  • Church of England. Same-sex couples can now receive official blessings from Church of England priests, after a historic vote.
  • Hogwarts Legacy. The new game in the Harry Potter franchise has been boycotted by trans people and allies, and its new trans character criticised.
  • Prisons. Prison is a terrifying place for trans people, and there are far more pressing prison issues we should be talking about, Dalton Harrison writes.

Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.

πŸ’’ Church of England will finally bless same-sex couples

TL;DR: The Church of England this week voted to allow blessings for same-sex marriages and civil partnerships.
