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.

Caitlin Moran, journalist and author of the bestselling feminist memoir 'How To Be A Woman' has won the coveted award 'Honorary Gay of The Year' at the Attitude magazine awards last night.

A clearly delighted Moran told Attitude, "There’s very little about me that’s straight. I like cock, I hang around with people who scream all the time and my ideal night is to end up in Molly Moggs or being at Horse Meat Disco at Glastonbury at three o’clock in the morning.”

According to the internet, other honorary gays include Madonna, right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, satirst Stephen Colbert and James Franco, a straight actor who often plays gay roles in films because, in his words “In this history of cinema, there are so many heterosexual love stories—it’s so hammered, so done. It’s just not that interesting to me. It’s more interesting to me to play roles and relationships that haven’t been portrayed as often.”
