QueerAF | Inspiring LGBTQIA+ stories told by emerging queer creatives

The use of anti-trans rhetoric perpetuated by United States government officials is designed to distract from the wider, growing authoritarianism. That's long been understood by liberation leaders from Sylvia Rivereria to Miss Major, who knew no one is free until everyone is free. And that means starting with some of the most marginalised people: Black, Trans+, incarcerated women.

In Three Days Grace, Nick begins the story frozen in the gathering dusk of his cramped Parisian room, perched on the edge of his chair in nothing but glacier-white briefs. What unfolds, over just three days is a story that begs big questions of queer life. How do we live a life without acceptance? Are there people beyond grace? What do actions we make under great pressure say about us? We sit down with author Jeremy Bradley Silverio Donato and therapist-writer Aimee Cliff to explore.

Episode Credits: This episode was produced by Jamie Wareham with editing by Rory Boyle. This episode was made with thanks to Jeremy Bradley Silverio Donato, in support of his new book Three Days Grace – out now

Lou Sullivan is known to many as a first. One of the first openly gay trans men in public life, widely considered the first known case of a trans man developing AIDS, and later the first trans man known to die of an AIDS-related illness. His story, his legacy, is a complex one, though. A pioneer of history and archiving, as well as on the front lines of HIV advocacy, we look back at his life at a time when we should be only years away from ending the HIV pandemic. Instead, because of cuts made by the Trump administration, HIV is on the rise in some places for the first time in years. This week on the QueerAF podcast, as we mark ten years of making podcasts, we kick off season 7 with an episode from reporter Alex-Parnham Cope.

Episode Credits: Reporter and producer, Alexander Parnham Cope. Executive production by Amber Devereux and Jamie Wareham. This episode was produced as part of QueerAF's Trans+ History Week mentoring programme with thanks to Trans+ History Week's Creative Talent Sponsor, Publicis Groupe UK.

We've made the illustration for this episode available on Creative Commons so more people can celebrate Lou Sullivan's legacy. Find out more here.

In their first appearance together, 2004 Big Brother UK winner Nadia Almada (she/her) and 2025 Big Brother UK housemate Zelah Glasson (he/him) revealed new details about their experiences, how they were treated by production teams – and how little has changed behind the camera in 20 years.

As a rare interview with Nadia Almada, she shared iconic stories behind the scenes of her time in the house, alongside Zelah Glasson who refelected on the differences when he entered the house in 2025. Both were interviewed by I Kissed A Boy contestant, Lars Fellows.

Kicking off a new season of the QueerAF podcast, recorded live in front of the Trans+ History Week community event with a gorgeous audience, the episode marks the ten-year anniversary of the show that has, for a decade now, been investing in marginalised LGBTQIA+ talent to build media careers.

The full season launches in June, with more live episodes to come.

We need to shut down the lies the anti-trans movement tell.

The best way to do that? With queer journalism, and our history.

This season on the QueerAF podcast, as we mark ten years of bringing you award-winning documentaries and live podcast events, we’re back with our trademark approach.

https://www.wearequeeraf.com/podcast/

Investing in LGBTQIA+ talent to build their media careers, buying them equipment to keep forever, supporting them to change the media, and yes - telling you beautiful stories.

Season 7 of the QueerAF podcast is another community affair with episodes from National Student Pride with Ian McKellen and Munroe Bergdorf, From Margate Pride’s Heritage Hotline and we get started with a rare interview with Big Brother winner Nadia Almada in conversation with Zelah Glasson and Lars Fellows at Trans+ History Week’s community event, with a whole new series of mini-documentaties out in June, and all the way through Pride season.

We are QueerAF, and yeah - so are you.
