My name is Heather Rose and I am a second-year Events Management student at Queen Margaret University. With a background in musical and physical theatre, creative writing, and busking for charities, there have been few opportunities that encouraged my Queer identity to transpire. The experiences that have, have completely transformed my life and had an indisputable influence on the development of Queerativity.

Another addition to Gay Things You Should Buy! These wonderful pieces were created by Charlie Brown. From earrings and necklaces, to pin badges, there is definitely something for everyone here.
Hannah McGregor’s original song “She”, is a beautiful piece that blends self-image and insecurities, from a WLW perspective. Songs and art like this are extremely important in our culture. They help younger people feel less alienated by their attractions and feelings, and generally provide more content that LGBTQ+ folks can relate to.
