The intersection of queer theory and service design resonates deeply, particularly this quote: "…being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live." This speaks to both the service designer's role in challenging existing systems and the queer experience of navigating a world not always built for them. https://lnkd.in/eYP98NGt

Today we share some queer wisdom. What is that? It is wisdom that accepts people for who they are, inclusive, affirming, celebrates diversity, and loves above all else. That is what Jesus modeled and taught – and it’s so different from what the non-affirming, rules-based church teaches. We share 15 things queer culture teaches that straight culture doesn’t! This is going to be so much fun! https://lnkd.in/gCVEm8wW

I am pleased to share that the first chapter of my undergraduate dissertation was recently published in the Southampton Journal of Undergraduate History! The chapter focuses on housing for LGBTQ people in 1987 - the year with the highest rate of AIDS infections in the UK, which coincided with a rising tide of discrimination against Queer people. It features both qualitative and quantitative studies of the advertisement sections of several Queer-focused publications, in order to understand their impact of these magazines on protecting LGBTQ people from homelessness, whilst also trying to understand which groups were best catered to. The potential for exploitation is also highlighted, though this was always in a minority of cases. The chapter concludes that these magazines were largely successful in protecting LGBTQIA people, providing an important safety net to some of the most vulnerable in contemporary society. It is hoped that this analysis helps to demonstrate the importance of community-strength historically, and, in doing so, encouraging modern Queer people to unite in the face of increasing rates of hate crimes related to sexuality.

Thank you so much for this shoutout. For context, there are no such things as new words, but I was the first to theorize and popularize BlaQueer back in 2007, as rejection of the Black first, queer first notion. In my view they are always, already co-forming each other, from the womb to the tomb, and there is no separation, even before identity is articulated. I first wrote about this on the tumblr blog blaqueerpoz and then the long running website blaqueerflow and finally my book Godless Circumcisions: A re-membering & recollecting of Blackness, Queerness & Flows of Survivance.
Exploring the unique complexities of Black LGBTQIA identities. 🧔🏿♂️🏳️🌈 We’re closing out #BlackHistoryMonth and #LGBTHistoryMonth with a term that directly acknowledges how these two identities can intersect: BlaQueer. 💜 BlaQ/BlaQueer is a term for people of Black/African descent and/or from the African diaspora who recognize their LGBTQIA identity being saliently identity attached to their Blackness and vice versa. It’s a word rooted in intersectional thought, recognising both the unique challenges and joys that BlaQueer folk experience while moving through the world. 🌍 BlaQueer identities often don’t conform to traditional gender roles within wider society or heteronormative Black communities, and so creating spaces where BlaQueer people can explore the nuances of their identities together is extremely important. If you’d like to learn more about this topic, we’d recommend checking out the work of Dr. Anansi Wilson, JD PhD, an associate professor of law who has written much on the subject, especially through the lens of how BlaQueer identities are unfairly criminalised. 📖 📚 Continue your learning journey with our Queer Allyship Lexicon: https://lnkd.in/eHEE9Hmp #BlackPride #Intersectionality #WordOfTheWeek
