Queer Lapis

Queer Lapis uncovers and amplifies hidden and suppressed queer voices in Malaysia, and provides a beacon of evidence and rights-based information in a sea of homophobic misinformation. It publishes queer content and counter-narratives by queer creators in a time where anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and the use of legal prosecution against LGBTQ people is at its peak.
