Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week, QueerAF is written by your friendly sub-editor Rowan Gavin, while Jamie takes some time to rest and recover following his update about hospital last week.
π¬ This week:
- Clonezone Attacks. The Manchester gay adult store faced its fifth attack of the year this week. We look at how it fits into the bigger picture of LGBTQIA+ rights in 2023.
- Representation. A new report finds that LGBTQIA+ representation in Hollywood film is at a record high - and warns that studios must treat workers right to keep it that way.
- Join us at Love Hub. No Queer Gaze this week - instead weβre inviting you to join us at an online event as part of Love Hub 2023!
Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF β and so are you.
More than just broken windows - the Clonezone attacks in context
TL;DR: The gay adult store Clonezone has been attacked by vandals - for the fifth time this year. No-one was hurt, but the Manchester queer scene has been rocked by the attacks. An arrest was made in connection on Thursday.
