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:
- A hopeful shift: We explore the growing shift in UK and US politics away from two-party systems, and towards politicians who promise a positive, hopeful policy platform.
- Media regulation: As Ofcom refuses to investigate anti-Trans content on TalkTV, we ask what it would take to have a regulator with the teeth to stop hateful content towards LGBTQIA+ people.
- King Arthur: Turns out the Welsh legend has a lesson for Trans+ people. Gwenhwyfar Ferch Rhys brings us an unexpected historical view on Trans+ healthcare in the UK in our latest Inclusive Journalism Cymru collaboration for the Queer Gaze.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
