THIS IS HALLOWEEN.

HALLOWEEN.
HALLOWEEN.
THIS IS HALLOWEEN.
BOO!
Welcome to a very special SPOOKY EP of Queer Longing!
Halloween is basically queer Christmas so it would be remiss of us not to indulge, right? This week we serve you all our spookiest recs from films to podcasts, plus we have A REAL LIFE spooky STORY TIME! Hold on to your berets.
We also give you our reviews of Jonathan van Ness' show at Manchester Apollo as well as a rave review (as per usual) of our dream hun band Self Esteem. We also celebrate the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion in Northern Ireland, as well as the latest in period politics and a brand new menopause policy from Channel 4.
