DIVA DICTUM
Christmas, that’s come around quickly! We know it’s a bit of a mixed bag: some of us love it, some not so much, so with that in mind, we’ve scoured the land for queer businesses, artists and crafters so you can buy your loved ones gifts and support community businesses while you shop (p46) and (p60). Because some of us like our Christmas a little different – with the honourable exception of Susan Calman (p20) – we asked counsellor Alena Dierickx to help us with a few suggesions on how to take a more innovative approach to the festivities (p64).
