Our goal at queerbeat isn’t just to increase the representation of LGBTQIA+ voices in the media. It’s to tell fresh and diverse stories that advance public conversations about queer lives. We are committed to showing the full picture in our stories. We don’t do one-sided takes, and we don’t shy away from telling stories that challenge oppressive systems—both outside and within our communities. We seek the truth. All of this to tell stories that help us build the just world we want to live in.
qbClub is our sincere effort to co-create this world, and we invite you to join us.
– Ankur Paliwal, Founder, queerbeat
queerbeat’s mission is to build better public conversations about LGBTQIA+ communities through creative storytelling in multiple languages in India. These stories serve queer people by enriching their lives and help reduce societal biases against them.
Producing these carefully-reported inclusive stories and keeping them free-to-read for everyone, especially people from underprivileged communities and students, requires resources—especially money.
