Hello LGBTs and allies. Substack has created a new system called the referrals program. This means when you refer this newsletter to your friends, you get special perks. The perks are as follows:

• Get a 1-month comp for 3 referrals

• Get a 3-month comp for 5 referrals

• Get a 6-month comp for 25 referrals

All you need to do is click on the referral link or the “Share” button at the bottom of posts and send the link to friends or share it on social media. You get credit for any subscribers generated from that link.

There’s also a special leaderboard that shows who has garnered the most sign-ups, for all you competitive folks out there. How fun!

Another update: I’m trying out a new system where three out of four Sunday Editions a month will be available to free subscribers, and the fourth one will only be available to paid subscribers. I really love writing this newsletter and I’d like to continue to spend as much time as I can working on it, but I can only do that with more funding. It’s getting more and more difficult to survive as a freelance writer these days – especially if you write about queer stuff – and making more of my income from this newsletter is my ultimate goal. If you have the means to upgrade your subscription, I would really appreciate that!

Peace & blessings this Pride 🏳️‍🌈
