Let’s be real: we live on Insta, and there’s nothing more thrilling than a new account to follow. Think of all the scrolling potential! So here are six of my favourite LGBT+ creators to follow in the plus size Instagram universe that’ll keep you feeling inspired this Pride month but also forever…
ReadyToStare
Alysse aka ReadyToStare is one of the happiest, most positive babes that I follow. Her smile is infectious and I’ve loved watching her romance unfold with her adorable fiance!
LottieLamour
A longtime personal fave, I love seeing Lottie talk about her sexuality and activism among the usual excellent plus size fashion content. She’s compassionate but no-nonsense and I love the appearances by her partner Emma!
StyleIsStyle
I first became aware of Lydia when she was appointed style editor of queer women’s website Autostraddle and have followed her from then, to her departure and into her freelance life. There’s just something so soothing about Lydia’s vibe, content, captions, approach to life in general.
BenPechey
Sweet angel Ben is flying the [rainbow] flag for non-binary babes in the UK. They’re kind, warm and empathetic and are blessed with a banging wardrobe.
Shooglet
Shooglet is a different kind of creator, turning the lens on a whole host of fat, generally queer bodies and showing them in all their glory. If your Insta feed feels like the same old same old, following Shooglet will definitely shake that up.
JazzmyneJay
Jazzmyne’s style is absolutely unmistakeable, not to mention her eye for accessorising, art direction and generally being a badass babe. Half a million followers can’t be wrong, right?
