Calling all working class queers! 

Queer and, especially, trans people, experience higher rates of poverty and unemployment, due to workplace discrimination and breakdown of family ties, amongst other things, but are those who grew up with more and lost it (downward mobility) the same as those who didn’t have much to begin with?

Are you one of those working class fem/butch dykes Joan Nestle and Leslie Feinberg wrote about (or dream about being a part of that scene)?

Do your BDSM practices include regular household items or toys you made yourself because you don’t have the money to splurge at a sex shop?

Do you not have a place to take sex partners to since all the dark rooms closed down in your town and the gay bar is now a show for straight women on hen dos?

Are you constantly torn over accepting or turning down requests to perform in full drag for a pittance because maybe some money is better than nothing?

Have you or your friends been sued by a mainstream (L)G(BT) charity for denouncing their dodgy practices?

Some of these are oddly specific, I know. You don’t have to relate to any of these. Any submission from working class and poor queers will be considered.

I just learned (courtesy of an NHL TV channel) that the Chicago Gay Hockey Association exists. Way to go! #LGBTIA+
Don’t know if this is paywalled, but it's a very moving interview with the the AFL/VFL’s first openly bisexual player. Good read. #afl #footy #LGBTIA https://www.smh.com.au/national/he-was-shaking-the-encounter-in-his-local-cafe-that-hit-home-for-mitch-brown-20251118-p5ngf9.html

🏳️‍⚧️Este mes de octubre conmemoramos el Día Internacional de la despatologización de las personas trans (21 de octubre) y para ello queremos crear un espacio seguro y de apoyo donde podamos compartir tanto las historias bonitas como aquellas… no tan buenas que necesitan ser contadas (y sobre todo escuchadas).

🗣️Ven, escucha, habla… construyamos ese espacio entre todes.

🏳️‍⚧️👻Spooky Octubre Trans
Aunque asusta, hablemos de ir al médico, entre todes dará menos miedo.

💪🏿Y si quieres contar lo que te ocurrió de forma anónima puedes escribirnos para que podamos leerlo ese día, ¡tu historia también es importante!

🏫Aula Gertrude W. Whitney del Campus del Carmen, Universidad de Huelva. sábado 25 de octubre 18:00. Actividad mixta.

If the United Nations itself supports LGBTQ+ rights, why can't its member states do the same or even us as individuals? Attitudes take time to change. Policy changes can take even longer. With the United Nations we all shall promote and protect LGBTQ+ rights.
