Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and another queer creative each week.
π¬ This week:
- Brands. As Pride month draws to a close, we can all agree that they should do better. But how? Dylan Mulvaney says that one crucial factor is looking after queer talent.
- Russia. New laws amount to a statewide policy of conversion therapy. We look at the details.
- Activism. You asked - we answered. Weβve had many requests for more content on activism. Trans journo Shivani Dave has a guide for getting started with queer activism in this weekβs Gaze.
Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF β and so are you.
