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.”

- 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.

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!
