Just as they did when I was a young queer back in the 80s words have consequences. Rhetoric has consequences. Policies have consequences. Lives are lost. Families torn apart. Communities frightened. However you identify, whomever you love, it’s time to be a trans ally. 16-year-old Brianna Ghey was not the first. She sadly won’t be the last. She was the 39th trans person lost to … Continue reading Say Their Name : Brianna Ghey

Queer cinema has always lit the way for this dramatic soul. The films watched with adolescent blushes as I hoped my mother wouldn’t note my interest in the lives of Oscar, Orton, Arnold, Quentin, or Maurice doing their queer thing on our Radio Rental. The unbridled joy of digging into Go Fish or the heat of Desert Hearts as I worked out my passions in … Continue reading Lewes Depot QueerFest
Our 2022 Best of Spotify playlist is fashionable late. Something I never am. Fashionable or late. But don’t let my lack of sartorial elegance or ability to just turn up all casual-like fool you. When it comes to tunes Queenie and I have a knack. A 30-year-long knack for finding tunes to make each other dance. Sharing them with you once again on dancefloors and … Continue reading That’s so last year darling… Best of 2022
So 2023 is Wildblood and Queenie’s 30th anniversary. Blimey, missus! We intend to fill it with dancing, prancing, and playing at gigs and festivals we’ve never DJ’d before alongside our beloved residencies. First up, and we can’t believe we’re even typing this, is the Brighton & Hove Pride Parade on 5th August 2023. We’ve never actually DJ’d on the Pride Community Parade before and fancy … Continue reading Brighton Pride Parade DJ’s anyone?
