In times like these, visibility matters more than ever. 🖤

We’re grateful to Het Laatste Nieuws for giving space to our founders Boris and Waseem, and for helping put anti-queer hate on the agenda. Every article that brings these stories into the open helps start the conversations we need.

Thank you to everyone reading, sharing and speaking up. Awareness is where change begins.

We're looking for someone who knows how to fight. 🥊

Self-defence, boxing, kickboxing, judo, any fight sport: if you have the experience or the knowledge, we want to talk to you.

Two weeks ago, Jonatan Medart and his boyfriend were followed through the centre of Ghent and shouted at for being gay. This week, a young student was attacked in the Overpoort. Incidents like these keep coming, faster and faster.

They don't happen in a vacuum. The political climate is changing. Just like racism, trans- and queerphobia have become normalised, while safer spaces keep disappearing.

This will keep happening. So we want to be prepared, come together as a community and organise. That's why we're setting up self-defence workshops, built around empowerment and resilience. What that looks like is still open. We'd love to sit down with you and figure out what's possible together.

Is that you, or do you know someone? Send us a DM or mail [email protected]. Tag them, share this, pass it on.

You can be honest, we're not judging... okay, maybe a little bit.

Our founder Boris sat down with De Morgen to talk about what's been happening lately: the new numbers, Jonatan's video, and the hate that's growing louder.

They shared what so many of us quietly know: avoiding eye contact on the street, scanning your surroundings, thinking twice before holding your partner's hand at night. They talked about being threatened in a gym changing room, and about going to the police after an incident in Brussels, only to be sent away.

On paper, we're equal. In daily life, we feel things moving backwards.

But the message isn't fear. Our community was built on resistance and on taking care of each other, and we'll keep doing exactly that.

It's been a heavy week. First new numbers on how young people see us, then footage from our very own city.

Jonatan & Seppe: thank you for choosing to speak up. We're standing with you.

To our allies: this is your moment too. 🤍

Most gyms expect you to already have it figured out — your body, your confidence, your place in the room. Q***r Gym doesn't.

We built this space from the ground up for every body, every identity, every fitness level, so you can walk in exactly as you are and start exactly where you're at. Our coaching is professional and evidence-based, our classes stay small enough that you're never just a number — but none of that gets in the way of what actually matters: you, moving in a way that feels good, at your own pace.

Finally, a gym where you can move at your own pace. Book your intro session and come see for yourself.

As LGBTQIA+ people, we're often denied the teenage romances other people take for granted. We’re busy instead with the work of accepting ourselves and finding our place in a heteronormative world. That can leave a lot of us feeling behind: while straight people had their first love at 15, plenty of us were still convinced we'd never get to just be ourselves.

Cliché as it sounds, don't put a timestamp on your life milestones. Move at your own pace. See where it leads.

Being bi+ often means getting erased twice over, waved off as "confused" outside the community, and side-eyed for "not picking a side" inside it. Neither one is true, and neither one is yours to carry.

Bi+ isn't a stopover, a phase, or an in-between. It's not half of anything, it's its own whole thing.

This week, and every week after it: we see you, fully. 🩷💜💙
