Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week QueerAF is written by Rowan Gavin, with the Queer Gaze from Diffwys Criafol.
π¬ This week:
- Puberty blockers: The possibility of extending Tory bans on the medications has sparked a row within the Labour party. We explore what it might mean as the new government gets its legislative agenda started.
- SiegedSec: The group of βgay furry hackersβ disbanded this week - but not before dishing some serious dirt on an ultra-conservative thinktank.
- Neuroqueer: Not a trend, not a phase - Diffwys Criafol explores the intersections of neurodiversity and queerness in the Queer Gaze.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF β and so are you.
Labour divided over puberty blockers ban
TL;DR: Health Secretary Wes Streeting has confirmed that he supports bans on prescribing puberty blockers to trans youth issued by the NHS and the previous government. His statements led a number of Labour MPs and other figures within the party to voice their disagreement.
