Queer Diary is the night where queers share REAL teenage diaries, plus long-lost love-letters, fabulous fan-fiction, terrible tumblr posts, and the odd bit of cringey poetry 🌈📖
We can't promise to reunite you with your first crush, but we do aim to reignite that rush of adrenaline you got when they first noticed you!
Up for sharing something from your youth? Our mic is open. Get in touch here: queerdiary
