THE9+. Queer News. Flabbergasting Finale to Pride Month, 200 Arrested in Turkey, A Woman Chief of UK Spies and much more.
Your weekly guide to the queer media. Today not as usual… 5.5 minutes to read. A weekly digest of the most important queer news in your backyard! A newsletter powered by DerAffe.io.

If you want to hear commentary on the news, listen right now to our weekly podcast Queer News and Journalism on any podcast platform or if you prefer the video version please go to YouTube Channel @GAY45mag.
We’re delighted to share that GAY45 is undergoing exciting transformations as we continue to grow and evolve.
We improved the THE9 newsletter with recommendations from worldwide newspapers, as well as books, music, films of the week, games, and more. I would like to remind you that we have a new website and Instagram feed.
We’re evolving — brilliantly, but slowly — so do bear in mind we’re a non-profit, with barely a penny in support. Progress takes time, yet what we achieve is nothing short of remarkable.
If you’d like to help, even £/€5 can make a world of difference. You can support us by clicking here.
The newsletter is edited by me, Taylor Abbot, the News Editor of GAY45.
