Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and another queer creative each week.

๐Ÿ’ฌ This week:

  • Florida. New laws in the state have left pride events with no choice but to cancel.
  • NatCon. The Christian conference received a lot of attention, as some attendees advocated for far-right and fringe views. What does the rise of these voices mean for the community?
  • NHS. As we mark the day the World Health Organisation declassified being gay as a disease, a Junior Doctor explores how the victory over PrEP on the NHS is a template to solve other health inequities different LGBTQIA+ face.

Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF โ€“ and so are you.
