How the Women’s Super League became the pinnacle of UK sapphic culture

From seeking out your sporty gf to scouting the WAGS of the women’s game, the football gays and theys have found their pride and place in the stands of the women’s football queer community. WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH HEADER DESIGN BY ANISA CLEAVER There’s no place like the Emirates Stadium for an Arsenal women’s game. Gunners and Pride flags run alongside the pitch and red and white jacquard scarves fill the stands as fan-led chants take over: “We’ve got McCabe, Katie McCabe – I just don’t think you understand!”  It’s…

New hope for breakthrough fertility technique that could help same-sex couples

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) scientists have released new research that could help some LGBTQIA+ couples have their own biological children.

This reduction of the chromosomes is the main differentiation to cloning and how DNA from two donors can be present, compared…

What does the future of queer film look like in the Global South?

In partnership with BFI Flare: London Film Festival, we speak to directors Amrou Al-Kadhi and Onir about the progress of queer film in the Global South and why LGBTQIA+ representation outside the Western film canon matters.  WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH HEADER DESIGN BY YOSEF PHELAN We all remember the first queer film that resonated with us. For me, it was Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga; a seemingly innocuous Bollywood rom-com about a struggling playwright and his fateful encounter with a small-town young woman looking to change her life.…
