Celebrating LGBTQ+ Stories in Meaningful Spaces
This Pride Month, we’re shining a spotlight on some incredibly talented LGBTQ+ creators.
In a three-part interview series, we sit down with LGBTQ+ content creators across the UK in locations that hold special meaning to them.
Each interview delves into the creator’s path to becoming a voice in the LGBTQ+ community, their experiences of being ‘out’ online, and the impact social media has had on their lives.
By showcasing these stories, we aim to foster understanding, support, and solidarity within and beyond the LGBTQ+ community. The series highlights both the positives and the challenges of being visible online, offering an authentic and honest look at the digital lives of LGBTQ+ creators.
