“They’re shoe shoes, silly!” A Hip-hop Journey into Queerness

In my rap lyrics, I try to focus on the undercurrents of resilience, hope, and the unwavering spirit of resistance in the face of struggles.

“They’re shoe shoes, silly!” A Hip-hop Journey into Queerness

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

January 2025: Anthology Issue

Happy New (another) Year! We hope it has begun well for you. Some of you might be of the opinion that another year brings no cause for gladness in times where so much is going wrong, but the fact is – we are still alive! And that itself gives occasion for celebration, and also for thinking out of the box. The ‘same old, same old’ has not made the world a kinder, gentler place where each of us is valued for who we are. It is time perhaps to go off the beaten path! So here we are with a selection of previously published In Plainspeak articles that do just that.

UPCOMING ISSUE:

February-March 2025: Consent and Sexuality
