This episode of Queer Spaces is a bonus one-off as we are joined by writer and campaigner Harry Nicholas, to celebrate the launch of his unflinching and brilliant book A Trans Man Walks into a Gay Bar, out now.

A raw and honest memoir, Harry’s book explores the intersection of gender, sexuality, sex, queerness, as well as his own relationship with queer spaces. The book is an essential and necessary addition to the trans literary canon, while also being fiercely entertaining and cheek-reddeningly candid.

Queer Spaces is produced, written and edited by Tim Boddy, and hosted and written by Alim Kheraj.

In our final episode of the season, we headed to Kings Cross to visit Queer Britain, the UK’s first LGBTQ+ museum and talked with CEO and co-founder Joseph Galliano. Sat inside the gallery, we spoke about the process of creating the museum, the current hostile political climate towards LGBTQ+ people and why documenting our past helps our queer futures.

Episode 6 is with artist, activist and nightlife organiser June Lam, the founder of GGI 끼, London’s only rave for queer, trans & nonbinary East and South East Asian people.
