QUEER ILLUSTRATION
Illustration has always powered queer expression from zines to protest art. This 1987 piece by Kate Charlesworth for The Pink Paper challenged attitudes around Section 28.

INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN DAY 🩷🤍🧡
Today we celebrate lesbians. From those who held the hands of AIDS patients, to those who abseiled into parliament for change - there's a reason the "L" comes first in LGBTQ+.
