BURST
Welcome to the glossy, new LGBTQ section headed by two brilliant South African ladies with experience working with Queer teens and adults. From November, anonymous reportage will be possible for submitters living in Africa. You would be able to send in news about events or concerns/stories about bullying, harassment, State policies etcetera without the fear of being identified.
Dear Diary...
Dear Diary is an anonymous column. Submitters from the Queer Community can send in features or rant about an issue without the fear of being identified. We will respect the rights of others and all (implicated) third parties as per law.
