Not one but two of our favourite queer people have been featured in national news in the last week!
Lashings' own Jenni was interviewed for the BBC documentary "How Sex Works" in which she talks in her usual articulate way about being a romantic asexual. The video will be available on iPlayer for another 11 days. Jenni's section is at 17:30. Her story is also discussed in this article.
Meanwhile, Lashfriend Ariel Silvera was interviewed in the Irish Independent for a feature on transgendered folk, where she successfully challenged some of the interviewer's narrow ideas about trans women.
Lest the excitement of this post should detract from yesterday's news.....did we mention we're putting on a PANTO?
I squee'd so hard when I saw Jenni at the top of that article. It was on the "most read" and "most shared" charts on the BBC news site for days, and has made a lot of people I know very happy.
