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: We take an exclusive look at a letter sent from bereaved mother Caroline Litman to the Health Secretary. It describes a meeting with him in which he repeatedly brought up his religious beliefs unprompted.
- Sex Matters: We look at the first accounts published since the organisation became a charity which reveal £1.2M in donations.
- Always been here: As we get ready to send our Trans+ History Stories newsletter subscribers a new history article every day of Trans+ History Week (4-10 May), we return to an article from the inaugural year, with evidence of gender diversity in Roman Britain.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Wes Streeting insists he's not 'God botherer who has issues with trans people' in meeting with bereaved mother Caroline Litman
Exclusive | TL;DR: Labour health secretary Wes Streeting met a bereaved mother to talk about the suicide of her trans daughter, Alice Litman. Now, she's written to Streeting – who is responsible for criminalising puberty blockers for trans children and pausing new prescriptions of gender-affirming hormones for trans 16 and 17-year-olds – about his stance on trans healthcare and rights.
