Queer in the Country (2023) focuses on queer people who live in the UK countryside. LGBTQ+ representation tends to highlight individuals who live in major UK cities, perpetuating the idea the countryside is narrow-minded and socially conservative. Many queer people from rural areas believe that if they want to find their “tribe” and become their true self, they must relocate to a city. This series documents people whose mere presence in rural areas might change the way the countryside is perceived. A limited number of copies can be purchased from Gay’s the Word bookshop.
