In Progress is a publication exploring gay life, culture, and perspectives – grounded in the experiences of gay men whilst reflecting the wider diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
We publish work across three editorial lenses:
Growing Up Gay, Life in Motion, and Culture & Perspective — each offering a different way of understanding gay life across time and experience.
You can contact us by emailing hey@inprogress.gay.
People
In Progress was founded by Benjamin Raisanen as a response to the lack of grounded, reflective spaces that he experienced as a gay man growing up, beyond coming-out narratives or surface-level representation.
Editorial approach
In Progress is not a lifestyle blog or advice platform. It is a developing publication focused on storytelling, observation, and cultural reflection.
Each piece is written to sit within a wider ongoing conversation about identity, adulthood, and culture. As part of this, we aim to be as inclusive as possible.
If you spot any factual errors or ways that we could improve our writing, then please contact us. We actively look for ways to improve what we do.
