An uncomfortable truth
@liamwaterloo
We started talking about doing an FS issue on consent at the GMFA
office a few months ago.
We had all heard stories from friends, or friends of friends, which ranged from unwanted
attention in a bar or club, to what can only be described as sexual assault.
However, not only wasn’t it really being talked about, it wasn’t even being recognised.
These were just ‘casual stories’ which were largely brushed off.
And then the horrific acts of Harvey Weinstein came to light.
Now is the time to talk about it.
This issue is an uncomfortable read. The main feature asks the question: does the gay
community have a problem with consent? From the results of our survey, which has over
1,000 respondents, sadly sometimes it does.
We also take an in-depth look at consent in the chemsex scene, with some heartbreaking
accounts from some survivors of sexual assult and rape who bravely told us their
experiences.
Also this issue, Hadley Stewart discusses the power of the word “no”, and Philip Samba
talks about how being black and gay has led to issues of consent in his life.
As I said, this issue of FS is uncomfortable to read. But maybe it should be.
