Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week, QueerAF is written by Rowan Gavin, while Jamie takes some time to rest and recover and Jules Maines takes over as sub-editor.
💬 This week:
- Hospital wards: Plans to segregate trans women in hospitals was just one of a raft of transphobic announcements made at Tory conference. We look at what was said, what it really means and where the party is headed.
- Sex Education: There have been some mixed reactions to the final series; we look at what it tells us about the complexities of representation.
- Joe Lycett: The comedian dunked on Suella Braverman in magnificent style this week, only to learn something he wasn’t expecting…
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
