Smoggie Queens is getting a series 2!

The BBC have decided to head back to Boro for more of our silly queer show! In a world that feels increasingly dark and mean and small, I'm so proud that we get to make something so big, bright, open-hearted and which seems to bring comfort and joy to so many!

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

*CW: Homophobia, hate speech GB News is no stranger to spouting hatred and toxic lies. They take pride in it, and pretend the rules don’t matter. But they do. And they must be enforced. On 22 January,...
