🙏
This week's QueerAF is made possible by Christian Schulz-Quach, MD, MSc, MA, MRCPsych, MDPAC(C). He supported our crowdfunder as a 'newsletter champion' directly funding ten issues of the newsletter and will be named as an honorary editor of QueerAF for all those issues. Thank you, Christian.
Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. The QueerAF newsletter is written by Jamie Wareham and a different queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Trinidad and Tobago: In a devastating blow, the country recriminalised gay sex and made it pubishable with prison sentences, overturning a previous court ruling.
- Good news: Putting together the newsletter this week, we were raised up by a whole host of stories of queers fighting back against a rising tide of hate. If you need a spirit lifter, look out for them all the way through this week’s newsletter.
- Mononormativity: It’s a phrase that captures the societal norm of monogamy. And this week in the Queer Gaze, Camilla Donzelli writes about how coming out as poly and challenging the patriarchal structure is the perfect middle finger to the woes of capitalism.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Trinidad and Tobago recriminalises gay sex in case that could have impact across the Caribbean
TL;DR: An appeal court in Trinidad and Tobago has overturned a court ruling that helped multiple countries across the Caribbean overturn colonially rooted laws that made same-sex intamacy illegal. The country will now punish gay sex with prison terms.
