I've just joined Substack and feel much safer in a community of readers and writers than in other social media. I'm subscribing to your newsletter because I have goals that are aligned with yours, and I'd love to learn more about how I can help our queer community!

I'm an artist of many facets, and I want to hone my writing skills to communicate how deeply I feel when I interact with art. I want to make it more available to people, to make their lives a tiny bit brighter. :)

I want to share all the good news and joy I can. I love that this is your focus, and I support your advocacy. I'm an old bisexual white woman, but there are many people I love in our little conservative area who identify as LGBTQ. We all need what you have on offer here. Thank you. Love, Virg

I come to you newsletter to feel more connected to the world and what’s going on, but in a way that doesn’t leave me depressed when I’m done reading. Thank you for what you do!!

It’s so great to hear more about you. I grew up in Kansas (and my fam is from Missouri) and though I no longer live there, I follow advocacy groups around KS and MO and love supporting people fighting the good fight there. ❤️

I’m here for queer D&D content! And for the good LGBTQ news, of course.

Hi Ben! This is exactly what I follow you for - Good Queer News! There’s not enough attention towards it. Everything is usually fear mongering, click baiting, etc. It’s refreshing to see the positivity when we’ve been raised on doom and gloom! I’m glad to have connected with the right people to have met you and received your book in my small Conservative town.

I’m a bonus parent of 5 and all of them are way more in touch with themselves, their identities, how they feel about religion, etc that I ever was. So I gotta shout out my partner Bex here for how they’ve set these babes up for this wonderful, complex, scary thing called life. Looking forward to future posts! 🌻
