Our Substack operates directly alongside this website, which will remain live at sportsmedialgbt.com and continue to host resources, our events calendar, information about our industry network group, recommendations and free-to-read articles which are indexed on Google News.
At a time when LGBT+ stories are increasingly being squeezed out of mainstream outlets by shifting editorial priorities and social media algorithms, this approach will help us to buck the trend.
By subscribing at sportsmedialgbt.substack.com, you’ll receive posts and newsletters sent directly to your email inbox. The Substack output is specifically designed to inform, entertain, and engage, providing:
- In-depth features – longer reads and explainers that enhance your understanding.
- Diverse voices – first-person perspectives and contributions from guest writers who are keen to reach you.
- A community focus – centered on the UK sports landscape, with an eye on broader European and international issues.
How you can play your part
Subscribing gives you the chance to directly support independent journalism, which is vital to our industry’s future.
While free subscribers receive regularly-delivered posts and newsletters, those who choose a paid subscription have the opportunity to help shape the output.
Paid members also unlock full access to all articles, features, live community chats, and exclusive content.
Stay connected, your way
It’s really important to us to provide flexibility and control.
