I grew up as two things: a closeted queer and a closeted Justin Bieber fan. Just like any other girl in my year seven English class, I was writing ‘JB’ over and over again in my notebooks with big love hearts.  I couldn’t care less if Justin Bieber had a girlfriend, or if the paparazzi …

Yen-Rong Wong talks about her new book, Me, Her, Us, exploring race, sex, pleasure, kink, familial expectation and identity.

In this room and on this bed, Leonardo da Vinci lay with Salai and Francesco Melzi. In the dining room, they ate together and told stories.

For this month’s Queer Fashion Files, we’re featuring The Huxleys and their art exhibition, ‘Bloodlines’.

Sex education in Nigerian households

By improving sex education in Nigeria and destigmatising sex as a shameful act, sex may be enjoyed safely, regardless of gender or sexuality.

Queer platonic intimacy is thus the haunting spectre of a love that does nothing but simply exist. Our love for one another doesn’t do the work for capitalism.

Every treatment option for PCOS is designed to maintain my body as one fit for carrying a child, even if that’s not possible or desired.

For this month’s Queer Fashion Files, we’re featuring up-and-coming Naarm-based label Spitsubishi.

The comedy of abortion

I once entertained the idea of posting a selfie online, three hours into my abortion, revealing me swathed in my own sweat.

I took refuge in the archives of lesbian literature, which felt like the only way I could connect to my community and their history.

Cry Club are not interested in doing anything other than chasing joy. They refuse to limit themselves, or be reduced to one genre or box. It’s an inherently queer philosophy.

Queerplatonic relationships shift the goalposts of what a relationship ought to be. Better yet, they tear down the game entirely.

Masses along the march route are happy to support the party, but often overlook the queer protest, the history and the violence.

For this month’s Queer Fashion Files, we’re featuring the braided designs of Nathaniel Youkhana.

At every point, my gender, disabilities and material circumstances put me into situations where I was at constant risk of violence and abuse.

What a wild ride. Thanks for coming along for the journey with me. They better renew The Ultimatum: Queer Love or I’m rioting. I love gay people.

Swimming and the queer body

I’m not so naïve to overlook the dangers of swimming, but I feel connected to the water through my heritage, home and queerness.

Welcome to the recap of The Ultimatum: Queer Love episodes 5-8, where we learn that love is a lie, Lexi has a hot mum, the stereotype of lesbians saying “I love you” after 2.5 weeks exists for a reason, and some people don’t shoo their dog off the bed before having sex. 

Four episodes drop at a time. I watched them all three glasses of boxed white wine deep, fresh from a devastating gay breakup and days after Taylor Swift surprise-dropped her saddest breakup song yet. Is this a good idea?

For this month’s Queer Fashion Files, we’re featuring Liz Ham and her recent series for ‘Absolutely Queer’ (Powerhouse).

Welcome to my Archer queer film review! This month: is Imagine Me & You better than Better Than Chocolate, the infamous 90s lesbian film?
