Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week, QueerAF is written by guest editor Marty Davies
Hi, I’m Marty, your guest editor this week. I’m a creative strategist in the ad industry, joint CEO of queer adland advocacy group Outvertising, and Campaign Magazine’s first transgender columnist. So you’ll find this the most 'ad'-heavy QueerAF newsletter you’ve ever read. But I promise you’ll enjoy it. Yes, even you Jamie.
💬 This week:
- Asexual. A landmark new report by QueerAF contributor Yasmin Benoit and Stonewall has revealed the extent of discrimination ace folks face - we explore
- Palestine. Olly Alexander joins 1200+ queer voices calling for ceasefire and the end to the occupation of Palestine, we speak exclusively to the open letter organisers
- Pride In London. The embattled pride has launched a new membership scheme that could exclude smaller organisations from the parade - we analyse the move
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.

New: Exclusively covered
When you see this phrase by a headline, it's because we've covered it, and no one else has.
Original QueerAF journalism has always been at the core of our approach, but as we seek to prioritize what matters (instead of what drives clicks), we'll be making more of an effort to highlight it.

Asexual people face vast and shocking discrimination in healthcare and work -
TL;DR: A new report from Asexual activist, Yasmin Benoit and Stonewall offers the most comprehensive review of the discrimination asexual people face in the UK today. It makes for painful reading. Stonewall recommends that asexual identities are officially recognised in law to improve the picture, but that journey is fraught with danger of the process being hijacked by the anti-LGBTQIA+ lobby.
