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:
- Wes Streeting: The Health Secretary Wes Streeting has resigned, leaving a legacy of undermining Trans+ healthcare behind. We take a look at his replacement and what his exit means for an ever-more-likely Labour leadership battle.
- Rainbow Maps: The UK loses more credibility and points in the annual IDAHOBIT ranking of European countries on their LGBTQIA+ rights.
- ECHR: The UK has led a significant change at Europe's most important backstop of human rights, successfully degrading the right to privacy and shifting more control to nation states.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
