The first week of February and LGBT+ History Month was certainly off to quite the start. Grab yourself some biscuits, put the kettle on and join me on looking back on some of the highlights.

The return of our fave Californian queers
Ever since season two wrapped, we fans have been on the edge of ours seats awaiting a renewal announcement from Showtime.

Babies galore
Last week, two of our favourite power couples shared beautiful announcements. Hannah and Jake Graf shares that they are expecting their second baby in June and Rapper Da Brat and fiancée Jesseca Dupart shared that they are extending their family 🎉
All things LGBT+ History Month
Brighton and Hove’s oldest LGBTQI charity, Switchboard, launched a Crowdfunder to help our LGBTQI community recover from the devastating impact resulting from the pandemic.
Listen to and amplify intersex voices
Dani Coyle’s launched their new DIY podcast inter_view. The show was conceived to centre and celebrate intersex connection, visibility, diversity and most importantly, joy. All seven episodes are available to stream on your preferred streaming platform.
Oh and whilst we’re talking about podcasts…
