The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs is a compelling piece of queer theatre which lands some political points – review

admin, , , ,

The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs is a great name for a show, but what’s it all about? Iman Qureshi’s play – which debuted at the Soho Theatre back in 2022 and is now playing at the Kiln Theatre – tells the story of the UK’s only lesbian choir as they vie for a coveted place to perform at Pride. It starts off as something rather charming and wholesome – an enjoyable underdog story as they prepare for their audition – but it becomes somewhat more serious after the interval, turning…

“I don’t want to be a superstar”: Kehlani hates being famous – but loves fucking with gender norms

admin, , , ,

Singer-songwriter Kehlani talks finding gender euphoria on and off the stage, defiantly speaking her mind and her full-throttle new album, CRASH. WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH There’s a collision on the cover art of CRASH: a shattering of expectations, as Kehlani – donning black and gold six-inch thin strap heels and a glittering spiky silver two-piece – poses atop a totalled blood red car. Her return is striking, two years after her third studio album, Blue Water. Gone are moments of moss-covered beach rocks, the pools of salty seawater and the…

Sapphic breakup etiquette 101: what should you do with the communal sex toy box?

admin, , , ,

For some corners of the queer community, getting dumped leads to one particularly divisive dilemma: deciding what to do with the strap-ons and vibrators you’ve used as a couple. WORDS BY KATIE BASKERVILLE HEADER DESIGN BY ANISA CLEAVER Throwing myself onto my bed and sobbing like Scarlett O’Hara has always been my post-break-up routine. I genuinely believe that this level of theatrics is a measured and proportionate response when your heart has been dashed against the rocks. I’m a romantic and a Scorpio – what can I say? I also…

I Kissed a Girl: Dannii Minogue on “fresh” series and being “empowered” by the cast

admin, , , ,

The hit BBC Three dating series is back and this time, it’s the girls’ turn. Ahead of the new sapphic spin, we chatted to host Dannii Minogue about all things I Kissed A Girl. Words by Hollie Wong Photography by BBC I Kissed A Girl is finally here and for sapphics everywhere, this is something to celebrate – the WLW community is being spotlighted like never before on Britain’s most iconic TV channel. And let’s just say, it makes for messy, authentic and downright obsessive viewing! The queer female equivalent…

What is the LGBTQ+ wage gap, and how can we fight it?

admin, , , ,

LGBTQIA+ employees are often paid less than their straight counterparts, data shows. What can we do to close the gap? WORDS BY NICOLE GARCÍA MÉRIDA HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN Minorities never really need to look at data to confirm they’re being discriminated against. We see it, we feel it, we experience it in the flesh — yet several studies have demonstrated the existence of an LGBTQIA+ wage gap.  A survey carried out by YouGov in 2019, commissioned by LinkedIn and UK Black Pride, found that LGBTQIA+ people in the UK…

For lesbians and queer folks, IVF access is about more than fertility

admin, , , ,

The cost of IVF can make starting a family seem like a very difficult reality for same-sex and queer couples.  WORDS BY NICOLE GARCÍA MÉRIDA HEADER BY ANISA CLEAVER More than half of European countries prohibit access to assisted reproduction for lesbians and queer couples – but even in countries where IVF is legal and accessible to LGBTQIA+ folks, there remains a serious barrier: the price. Take the UK, for example: queer couples’ access to IVF on the NHS is fundamentally messed up. While cis-heterosexual couples only have to try…

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…

Lesbian Bed Death — what does the sapphic stereotype mean? Journalist Gina Tonic unpacks its reputation and explores how queer women can rekindle sexual intimacy in their relationships. WORDS BY GINA TONIC HEADER DESIGN BY YOSEF PHELAN If you, like me, heard the phrase ‘Lesbian Bed Death’ and jumped to all kinds of horny interpretations of the term, then I would like you to stop reading this article right now. It is much more fun to imagine Lesbian Bed Death as a promise to shag everywhere but between the sheets.…
