Every Saturday, QueerAF helps you understand the queer headlines and stay on top of the latest LGBTQIA+ content - all while we support queer creatives. Jamie is taking some time off to have a medical procedure. So for the next few weeks, I - long-term QueerAF contributor Matilda Davies - will be taking over and bringing you the LGBTQIA+ news of the week. We’ll still have queer creatives contributing too.

I’m really excited to be in your inbox every week. Myself and the QueerAF family appreciate your support while we step into Jamie’s fabulous shoes.

πŸ’¬ This week:

  • Midterms. Monumental elections have been happening across the US this week. We unpick the ones to watch, and what it all means.
  • Nikita Dragun. The YouTuber’s wild week shone a light on issues trans people face in prisons.
  • Giving blood. Since the rules were relaxed on blood donation in June, many more queer people have been eligible to donate. Gareth Leitch shares his experience in the Queer Gaze.

Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
