This LGBTQ+ History Month we've been thinking about the queer media that inspires us! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
Erin's chosen Happy Meal by @TheTabbyLamb ✨
What inspires you? We'd love to hear your picks!

ALT LGBTQ+ History Month. What queer media inspires you? My pick is Happy Meal by Tabby Lamb, a joy-filled T4T rom com that made me ugly cry in a packed theatre. I think so many queer people around my age relied on the internet for self-discovery and connection growing up, but it’s not something that’s often shown in the media. Never thought I’d see a queer Club Penguin romance staged in such a tender and honest way. Erin, Digital Engagement Worker, Hull & Rotherham. #LGBTPlusHM
