Josh: [Looking at the selection of BAME Attitude covers] It’s hard to feel positive about the covers where they’re cis or straight black cover stars because that’s another conversation about whether we’re being represented. It’s great to have examples of black representation, but if they are black and straight or cis then that’s something we’re also excluded from. With someone such as Reggie Yates, I wouldn’t necessarily count that cover as a success for the black gay, trans, bi or lesbian community because we’re not that person either.
