Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and a different LGBTQIA+ creative every week.
💬 This week:
- State-sanctioned segregation: In a worrying week for Trans+ people in England, Wales and Scotland, where the new EHRC code has come into force, we look at the arguments behind a new court case which argues it "misstates the law".
- Councils defy: Six London boroughs are refusing to implement the code. We explore the Green, Lib Dem and Labour-run councils' actions.
- Waiting in the wings: For this week's Queer Gaze, we look to the archive for Alec Turner's reflections on their first Trans+ protest, and ask: how many others will see their activism ignited for the first time in the coming weeks and months?
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you
