One of my favourite things to have come from starting Loverboy, is meeting people and learning from them. That was really the whole reason I started this magazine, this site – I wanted to tell people’s stories. And what a joy it has been reading London icon, performer & activist, Mzz Kimberley‘s daily lesson on […]

Taking to the stage in a pink leotard, white PVC body harness, a tousled mess of pink hair and sparkly platform boots, Georgia. Tasda makes quite the impression.

What happens when an enbee from the capital city moves to a small coastal English town? Where’s the queer scene in Cleethorpes? Loverboy’s Fallon Gold threw on a ton of biodegradable glitter and found out. I’d had enough of the Big Smoke. Sure, there’s some things I’d miss but I was moving to the seaside! […]

In Loverboy’s new series Tragic Divas, Fallon Gold tells us why opera singer Maria Callas is a diva in every sense of the word.
