“We are only beginning to reach a period in culture where representatives of the kind of broader definitions of LGBTQ+ culture are being able to speak for themselves in the media”

Transcription

The thing that most annoys me, this is particularly about the gay men’s press, but essentially how men of a very standardised body type and white men and often straight white men are kind of fetishised and celebrated in gay men’s media in a way that I think is really quite putrid.

The fact that I’m talking about that is because I think we’re only beginning to reach a period in culture where representatives of the kind of broader definitions of LGBTQ+ culture are being able to speak for themselves in the media.
