Every Saturday, QueerAF helps you understand the queer headlines and stay on top of the latest LGBTQIA+ content - all while we support queer creatives. This week, it's written by Jamie Wareham and another queer creative as usual.

πŸ’¬ This week:

  • Schools. A report in The Times suggests the Government could be set to test its anti-trans agenda by banning trans pupils from some bathrooms.
  • Uganda. The country's anti-gay legislation could be softened slightly after international condemnation
  • Feeling seen. As Lesbian Visibility Week draws to a close, Alice Wilson writes about the transformative power of being seen in queer spaces.

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

TL;DR: The government is set to release long-awaited guidance on how schools should treat transgender pupils in a matter of weeks. According to a report in The Times, it will advise schools to ban trans students from using the bathrooms of their choice and to out trans children to their parents, except where there are safeguarding issues.
