As a queer brown journalist, I seek to create a safe space for all intersectional identities within the LGBTQ+ community. With the help of Pink Portraits revisited, I hope I can reach out to these voices, especially of trans people who are relentlessly demonised by the media, and who deserve a world where their lives are not constantly a point of debate. Trans people have always been part of queer history; they’re not going anywhere. Happy LGBTQ+ History month!


Pink Portraits Revisited is produced by the Iris Prize and supported by Cardiff University, University of South Wales and Ffotogallery.
