Why QueerDispatch Exists

QueerDispatch isn’t a corporate newsroom.
It’s a response.

  • When stories about us are ignored — we publish them
  • When narratives are distorted — we correct them
  • When communities are targeted — we document it

“There is too much happening right now for one person to cover alone.”

You Don’t Need to Be a Journalist

If you’ve ever said “someone should talk about this” — that someone can be you.

  • WordPress experience = helpful (but not required)
  • Lived experience = valuable
  • Passion = required

This Moment Is Critical

Across the country, policies, surveillance, and misinformation are escalating.
Queer stories aren’t just underreported — they’re actively being erased.

“If we don’t document what’s happening, others will rewrite it.”

This Isn’t Just a Website

It’s a newsroom, a signal boost, and a living archive.

  • Built on WordPress
  • Open to contributors
  • Designed to grow beyond one person

A Note From Piper (Editor)

I started QueerDispatch as a side project… It stayed that way for quite a while, but recently it’s been consuming more and more of my life. It’s starting to become something that I can’t carry alone.

QueerDispatch needs your help, so that it can continue to grow. I want to grow it — with you!
