I’m only seconds into our Zoom call ahead of the film’s release when I find myself in awe of how infectious Alexandra’s vibe is. She’s cool (and not just because she’s dyed her eyebrows hot pink) and grounded, while also being enthusiastic and warm.

Thanks to the allyship and solidarity of Laura-Rose Thorogood, founder of LGBT Mummies, I had the opportunity to work with King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We worked together to wrap the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag around a new buildin

For me, bi panic is defined in no better way than the night I watched the Eurovision 2021 final. The minute the Italian rock group Måneskin waltzed on stage, I simply didn’t know where to look. One minute I was drooling over lead singer Damiano David

In April last year, the hotly anticipated Netflix adaptation of Alice Oseman’s hugely popular graphic novel series, Heartstopper, premiered and changed the world. It served up a gloriously diverse cast, allowing audiences around the globe to feel see

I often get asked what Middlesex means – what that area actually is. It is somewhere that was officially named Middlesex (alongside Sussex and Essex); the space than narrowed down until it was a postal area, the title then removed in the 1990s to acc

My first codependent relationship was with my mother, Susan. When my mother would shower, as I couldn’t bear to be alone for more than five seconds, I would barge in unannounced, rip off all my clothes, stretch out my arms, and scream, “NAKED PEOPLE!

Today we are speaking about these historical books via the modern medium of Zoom. Lex is fresh from the shower, wearing a tank top that shows their tattooed arms. On the wall behind them hangs a beloved and enormous two-metre-wide Edwardian tapestry,

The pandemic hit: the nauseating feeling of losing the job I had worked so hard to get was now my reality. Bills were rolling in and I was up against it. While I was scrolling Instagram one morning, a cam model popped up claiming to be making huge mo

You know those children that get to sit at the grownups’ table as a special treat? That’s often what being bisexual during discussions about queer issues can look like. When we’re not being ignored, we’re often patronised. We’re not straight enough f

App controlled vibrator Are you a bit of a control freak in your day-to-day life? Maybe it’s time to hand over the power to your partner with this wearable app-controlled vibrator. Whether you’re looking to spice up your long-distance relationship or

So… what the heck is a unicorn? A unicorn within the bisexual world is a term often used to describe a bi woman who has sex with a straight couple. Not to be confused with a typical threesome, the key part of this arrangement is that the bi woman is

After years of begging the reality TV gods to provide us with some queer drama, Netflix handed the sapphic community The Ultimatum: Queer Love on a platter. For 10 episodes we got to gasp, cry and fall in love with the five couples on the show. If yo

Despite women making up over half the global population with an HIV-positive diagnosis, HIV is surrounded by a stigma that excludes women from the conversation entirely. This lack of representation has shrouded HIV in a culture of shame for women, pu

I looked at my phone and nervously Facebook messaged my partner. “Hey baby, I’m a woman. I love you.” Apparently, this isn’t the proper way to “come out” to a long-time partner, by ambushing them with a DM. I had no idea how they’d receive the news.

*Names have been changed for anonymity. This was a bed I had laid in before. Within the first year of my monogamous relationships, I always experienced a steady decline in my horn. My ignorance of how to keep things spicy, and an increased feeling of

However, when you’re Black and you realise you’re queer, there is often a feeling of isolation. This is because of overwhelming narratives that our queerness strips us of our Blackness – one of the many lasting impacts of colonial thought. We find ou

I understand that. A lot of the best jokes are really simple. Our favourite characters can be described in three words: dim-witted, naive, loyal. (Alice Tinker. And Baldrick.) But my Three Things, my three identifying characteristics, don’t have tons
