Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Friday's selection: Custom cars in Tokyo, the election of Mister Gay in China and an art show in Palm Beach, Florida, among other events.

Mr Gay China

Beijing, China

Staged at the city's Lan Club, China's first gay pageant approximates a beauty revolution for a country whose stance on homosexuality remains ambiguous to say the least. The contest's winner will compete in the Mr Gay World competition in Norway in February.
