Welcome to the brand new (sparkly) Queer Writes.

We are the voice of the LGBTQIA+ student body here at UNSW, and we are proudly brought to you by your SRC’s Queer Collective. We bring you all things topical, funny, creative, thirsty, and artistic by some of your favourite queers on campus!

In this edition, we pay homage to the stunning trans icon Laverne Cox. Cox has had a prolific film career, and was the first out transgender woman to be nominated for a primetime emmy award in any acting category. She has also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine and is a proud advocate for the transgender community and LGBTQIA+ rights.

Our history as a community is so often untold and forgotten – as such, Queer Writes hopes to keep it alive every edition by giving you covers celebrating the people that have fought so hard before us and those who continue to do so among us. So keep an eye out every three weeks for your tri-weekly dose of education, creativity, and good old-fashioned mess.
