A brand new 'Queer Sports Zine', Utopia was created as a physical space to celebrate the many queer community sports groups that have come into being in recent years—both in London and around the UK (though this first issue is certainly born of the London scene).
Inside, we meet five queer sports crews: Queer Surf Club, Queer Running Club, Goal Diggers FC, Knockout Boxing, and Queers on Wheels. As well as fun, silly, and sexy photoshoots featuring members from each club, we learn a little about why communities such as these are so very important to those who join them.
Crucially, all profits from the sales of Utopia will be donated to Mermaids, the UK-based charity supporting trans, non-binary and gender-questioning children and young people and the important people in their lives since 1995.
