Queer Joy: being gay as in happy
Want more Queer Joy in your life? I'm Billy Lindon, a queer romcom writer talking to delightful creatives about how they make joy in their work and lives, from gender euphorias to sexy frivolities. Conveniently this also means we get to have a very fun time listening to interesting people talk about what makes them happy, and steal some ideas. In a homophobic world, queer joy is still a radical and hard-won act, so join me in this lovely bubble of unabashed pleasure, to stubbornly celebrate the many wonderful parts of being in this incredible community.
