Queerstories

Ginger Turner reflects on their realisation that they identify as asexual.  

Ginger is a writer, a podcaster and a pop-culture commentator, pastimes that feel as natural to them as breathing. And, like breathing, they'll keep doing it even when no one's listening. You can buck the trend, and listen to their podcast, Common Sense with Burt Franklap.   

Ginger is featured in the Queerstories book which can be ordered on Booktopia.

Vicki Melson tells us a short tale of heroes, cock and cancer.   Vicki is a Sydney based aromatherapist with a background in graphic design. She has recently completed an Arts degree majoring in English and Film which she hopes will encourage her to write more. She escaped from the UK in 1987 and has since been trapped in Australia due to her love of its flora and fauna.
