Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives.

πŸ’¬ This week:

  • Lesbian Data. In both our top story and long read this week, we help you understand the data that sets out the reality of being a LGBTQIA+ women or non-binary person in the UK.
  • Memorial. A dedicated memorial for LGBTQIA+ people has been announced. We explore its significance.
  • Sober. Being queer does not have to revolve around partying or getting wasted - it doesn’t (any more) for this week's Queer Gaze writer, Neil Hudson-Basing.

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


LBQ+ women and trans people are proud but don't often feel safe in the UK

TL;DR: New data, released annually by DIVA and Kantar for Lesbian Visibility Week shows that while LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people in the UK are often out and proud, many feel unsafe in their day to day lives in spaces like gyms, public transport and even in their own neighbourhoods.
