Levi's and Post Office: Open Letter to Queer Britain by Queer Britain

In partnership with the Levi’s brand and Post Office, Queer Britain, the charity working to establish the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ museum, is calling on the queer community and its allies to share an open letter with the future museum to record, study and preserve stories of the LGBTQ+ experience.

The letters will live in Queer Britain’s ever-growing archive, where they can be re-visited and re-told, contributing to a more inclusive and representative British history.

The letters can take any form and cover any subject, from personal experiences and stories of hope for the future, to how the recent pandemic has affected the LGBTQ+ community. Queer Britain, Levi’s and Post Office are asking people to use their voice and tell their stories: each letter will be a valuable asset helping to build a narrative which truly represents the diversity, resilience and beauty of the UK’s LGBTQ+ communities.

To kick start the campaign, Queer Britain has called upon notable members of the LGBTQ+ community to share their open letters. This line-up includes:

Asifa Lahore, Britain’s First Out Muslim Drag Queen

Raven Smith, Sunday Times bestselling author and Vogue columnist

Tanya Compas, Founder of Exist Loudly and award-winning youth worker

Jake Graf, film director, actor, writer and trans advocate

Hannah Graf MBE, retired Army Captain and trans advocate

Crystal Rasmussen, drag performer and author

Otamere Guobadia, author, poet and journalist

Glyn Fussell, fairy godmother of London’s queer nightlife and co-founder of the now legendary Sink the Pink.
