Many of us across the world are either social-distancing, self-isolating, or living under a lockdown because of the coronavirus at the moment.

Many of us across the world are either social-distancing, self-isolating, or living under a lockdown because of the coronavirus at the moment.

Fragmentation of Self
I’ve been having a lot of lightbulb moments in the past few months that have really helped me figure out why I feel so disjointed.
I think it started before Christmas. I caught the movie Let it Snow which had queer cast members and a queer storyline. Until then I hadn’t realised that I’d never seen a queer Christmas film. On [...]
Straight washed history
Recently I went to one of my favourite places in London, the Imperial War Museum! Within seconds of walking in I was raiding the bookshop. One book by Stephen Bourne caught my eye. ‘Fighting Proud’ looks at the gay men who served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort on the home front in World War I and World War II.

Hello again
Content Note: bereavement, a death by suicide
Wow, how has it been two years since my last post here?
I guess I had nothing to say for a while.

LGBT History Month is here!

Happy International Fetish Day, folks
Yes, yes, I know, I\'m not chair of LGBT+LDs any more, and there\'s argument as to whether kink fits into that + anyway (I\'d say it does, but I\'m happy to let my fellow kinksters self-define) but I do think it\'s important to note that kink continues to be the target of prurience and judgement from people who don\'t indulge, and that is not [...]

World AIDS day 2019
On #worldaidsday please remember the bisexuals and pansexuals of colour who are demonised as spreaders of sexually transmitted diseases, when the reality is that we face racism and biphobia when trying to access S.T.I help. We experience multiple barriers from medical institutions, from Queer communities and from communities of colour [...]
