The Huxleys are back for another episode of Queer Fashion Files! This time, they talk about ‘The Winner Takes It All’: a high-camp sport and fashion event.

The Matildas were unofficially named the gayest team of the 32 teams who participated in the WWC: 13 of the 23-player squad are openly queer.

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

Nowadays, there’s no doubt that you’ll see far more body diversity among jockstraps wearers in the queer community than you will in sport.

It became apparent why the way women’s sport is participated in and played resonates so deeply with me: it is so critically important.

To my knowledge there has never been another drag queen to compete in a bodybuilding competition while in drag.

The way I moved my body was the one thing I could control in a world that confused and bewildered me constantly.

In the past, transgender dancers couldn’t compete in Irish dancing competitions in Australia. I changed that in 2018. In December of 2017, after years of hiding my true self and feeling an overwhelming sense of disconnection from my outward presentation, I decided to undergo a gender transition.

But I stood strong before him without showing any fear while awaiting his reaction, even though I was terrified …

OVER THE LAST month, the familiar nexus between sport and homophobia has found its way into the news twice: Miranda Devine wrote an article for The Daily Telegraph, and Michael Sam was drafted to the NFL.

IN JUST OVER two weeks, the third Asia Pacific Out Games kicks off in Darwin, Australia. There’s been no bidding war over who will televise the games, nor any slow motion ads showing athletes with muscles rippling, faces contorted with determination.
