Bloomsbury presents Girlfriend Material, written and read by Rosie Turner. So, it’s finally happening. The months of sapphic back-and-forth, the over-analysis of texts, the wondering is she into me or just nice? – all leading to one terrifying, thrilling moment: an IRL meeting. Is it a date?...

The gay rights movement in the West has succeeded beyond its wildest dreams – but this success seems suddenly fragile. Ronan McCrea’s important audiobook argues that this is no blip. Forces favourable to gay rights – such as the wider cultural shift towards sexual freedom – are weakening, while political developments, cultural changes and migration patterns mean that sources of opposition, both old and new, are gaining strength. The gay rights movement is ill-equipped to meet this challenge.

In this unflinching response to JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, Georgiann Davis guides us through her extraordinary life, from weighing almost 300 pounds by fifth grade, to dropping out of school in the seventh and on to selling weed out of her “monkey shit green” Plymouth Neon. A tall, fat girl who only wore boy’s clothing, she grew up with a turbulent family outside of Chicago: the larger-than-life mother who looked like Farah Fawcett, the father who understood cars better than children, the brother whose drug use went unchecked, and the Greek grandparents who could only love her from afar.

Endlich normal? Schwuler Wandel in Deutschland. Ein provokatives Feature, das NICHT im öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk gesendet wurde. In den frühen 2000er Jahren schien alles erreicht: eingetragene Partnerschaft, zunehmende Akzeptanz, queere Sichtbarkeit in Medien und Gesellschaft.

Queerphobic and transphobic messaging can arrive from nearly any direction, and once queer and trans people are exposed to the fear, disgust and judgement people have for otherness, it can easily fester into internalized oppression. In a society that promotes the narrative of self-loathing queers, loving and accepting ourselves can be hard to imagine, let alone achieve.

Throughout LGBTQ+ history, suburbia has been seen as somewhere to escape from: a place where heterosexuality rules; where difference will not be tolerated; where you'll never find a soulmate. But for many, those streets of twitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were - or still are - a place to call home. From Addlestone to Wilmslow, Tales of the Suburbs explores the relatively untold twentieth century tale of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in suburbia.

Navigating identity – be it personal or societal – is among the most profound journeys a human can undertake. For those grappling with questions of gender, the path can be uniquely challenging, often intertwined with feelings of uncertainty, discovery, and a deep longing to be understood. In my work as a life coach, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they confront these very questions, helping them uncover their authentic selves and build lives that reflect their truth.

In my early years, I felt painfully split. That pain has driven me on a life-long quest to fathom the depths of both sex and spirit: to explore their many mysteries and to find where they may be connected. What follows in this spiritual travelog are the highs and lows, the struggles and insights, and most of all the amazing grace that has guided me on a totally transformational life journey.
