Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham, and a different queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Premier League: Rainbow laces and LGBTQIA+ representation in the 'beautiful game' were in the spotlight on a number of fronts this week. We unpack the headlines.
- Capitol Bathroom: We look at the increasingly prominent use of direct action as anti-queer hate ramps up ahead of the Trump presidency, this week in the form of a party in a bathroom.
- Fat and Queer: In this week's Queer Gaze, Ruby Gill looks at how fat liberation and queer liberation are intertwined, and the parallels between the movements.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
