As pride month comes to a close, and as does this government, I have decided to make this the last issue of Keep Calm and Queer On for the foreseeable future.
I hope that over the last three months I have managed to help all of my readers chill out and unplug during a turbulent time for us all. I can only speak for myself, but I have definitely felt closer to this community because of it.
Unfortunately, it does take a significant amount of time to collate each issue and advertise them in appropriate places. With reader submissions drying up, I felt now was the best time to call it quits.
In all likelihood, this isn't permanent, but it will be for a good while. Remember that you can control whether you're on the mailing list at any time by clicking here. If KCAQO makes a return in the future, subscribers will be the first to know.
Thank you for being part of this serial. I hope you enjoy this last issue.

Featured Song
This week's song is Sorry by Nothing But Thieves, from 2017.
A very melancholy song, but perhaps fitting as the last one submitted.

If you haven't already, you are likely to receive a nasty piece of hateful propaganda through your door as part of election communication. This letter is classified as malicious communications and you should report it to your local police force.
You can take it to your local police station or report it through 101, the non-emergency phone line, or through your local police's website. This letter is a hate crime, and you can also report it through a third party hate crime reporting centre if you have one locally.
Stay safe!
