  • Live and Let Die
    Aug 16 2024

    David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE has made it his mission to uncover why James Bond appeals so much to LGBTQIA+ people and educate the world about what he has suspected all along: the world of 007 is spectacularly queer.

    David launched Licence to Queer in 2020. The site now has thousands of unique visitors each month and articles written by more than a dozen queer Bond fans.

    David's work on Bond has been featured in Esquire, GQ, The Independent, The AV Club and many more.
