Issue 27 • Autumn / Winter 2021

Goodbye summer, hello hot new autumn edition of Jack The Lad. Issue 27 is another cover-to-cover celebration of queer creativity, overcoming adversity, championing diversity and introducing some truly gifted artists from our incredible community. We check out boat-life with Mr Gay Ireland 2017, and take a deep dive into this years Mr Gay England and Mx Drag competition. The candidates stories are sure to surprise you, as will the stunning work of photographers Omer Ga’ash and Ethan James, two very different styles that both beautifully capture the male form. We venture out for a night at the cabaret to profile gifted pianist and musical director Ben Papworth, and Roo returns with a choice collection of movies recommendations we think you’ll want to check out.
