As part of QUEERGURU’S quest researching the hotbed of queer East London, we came across Justin David as he was just launching his debut novel with a title we would have loved for our own memoir HE’S DONE EVER SO WELL FOR HIMSELF. A self-proclaimed working-class queer writer Justin is also a photographer, publisher and full-time teacher.
He’s passionate about living in Dalston with his partner Nathan Evans with whom he has formed Inkandescent a new publishing imprint to nurture and produce the work of up and coming writers. He called us via Facetime from his bedroom and although we discussed many things, I foolishly failed to ask him if the rope so prominently displayed behind him was part of another passion. Maybe next time.
Tracy Kachtick-Anders has been spreading joy in #Ptown she arrived and this summer she actually has a base for THE JOY PROJECT. It’s not difficult to spot her store as it is the only one in Commercial Street that has baby chicks in the window. We just had to find out more.
Le Gateau Chocolat is the nearest thing the queer community has to a renaissance man. This multi-faceted performer with an exquisite baritone voice is equally home of the stage of the Royal Opera House or wearing outrageous drag acting the fool at Jonny Woo ‘s The Glory in London’s East End. He is wickedly funny, honest as the day is long, with a political conscience that puts us to shame.
One of our very favorite funny lesbians and extremely talented musician JulieWheeler stopped by the queerguru garden to tell us about her brand new show that she opens at Crown & Anchor this Memorial Day Weekend Ptown …… and at the same time she couldn’t resist throwing shade with us
