Member Profile

QNews is Australia’s leading LGBTIQ media organization founded in 2000, a community platform that celebrates the stories, people and queer voices that are emerging and inspiring all of us, ranging in topics from pop culture, politics and news, all through the lens of today’s LGBTIQ communities. A new print edition of QNews is released every month and new content is published on qnews.com.au daily. Our mission is to inspire readers by making a positive impact in their lives through telling the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community’s stories and encouraging and enabling people to improve relationships and engage with each other, wherever they are in businesses, schools, with their families, or in their neighbourhoods. In 2000, QNews was originally printed as a tabloid newspaper after the closure of LGBTIQ publication Brother Sister and moved in a more commercial direction. Almost two decades later, QNews is distributed to more than 500 locations including cafes, nightlife venues, hotels, bookstores, arts venues, education centres, libraries and more right across Queensland, as well as Northern NSW and the Northern Territory. To find out where you can find a printed copy of QNews, visit our Distribution page here. We also offer businesses the ability to reach our community via Q Directory, a second popular website for LGBTIQ people seeking LGBTIQ-welcoming businesses.
