Queer Love Stories
Growing up gay in the nineties under Section 28 I never thought love or a full life was possible for me. There were no role models or stories that spoke to the potential happiness that was waiting for me which resulted in me suppressing my sexuality until my late twenties.
Queer Love Stories gives members of the LGBTQ+ community the opportunity to share positive love stories to inspire others. All stories may contain a struggle, but will fundamentally have an overarching feeling of positivity which will show it's possible to make successful, lasting and deep connections within our community.
We'll dissect all types of love including romantic, friendship, family, community, and self-love
Queer Love Stories
Bridie Daniels: "1 in 5 LGBTQ+ people experience loneliness everyday" Finding friendship in adulthood, 15-minute friendships and pansexual representation
Bridie Daniels is a digital marketer, keen baker, videogamer and activist living in Leeds.
In July 2023 they launched 15-minute friendships which is a social project designed to combat loneliness within the queer community through pop-up events in and around Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Throughout the conversation, we discussed the use of dating apps to make friends, the importance of community, pansexual and bisexual representation in tv, coming out and being non-binary.
