Editorial Promise
Verified before published. Careful with identity.
Covering LGBTQIA+ business in Asia carries real consequences for real people. These are the rules that make the work possible.
- Identity is not inferred
- Q Edge does not infer or disclose anyone's LGBTQIA+ identity without public confirmation or consent — never from association, attendance, or rumour.
- Claims are checked
- Every company, deal, role, and claim is verified against a primary source or a named, accountable person before publishing.
- Reader input shapes direction
- Tips, replies, polls, and survey answers help Q Edge decide what to watch or clarify next. They do not automatically become published claims.
- Corrections are welcome
- Errors are corrected on the record, with a note of what changed and when. Anyone can contest a fact at any time.
- Q Edge does not speak for everyone
- Q Edge does not claim to represent or speak for all LGBTQIA+ people across Asia.
- Asia is many markets, not one
- Hong Kong is not Singapore, and neither is Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, India, or Korea. Conditions are read market by market.
- Sponsorship does not choose coverage
- Coverage is never sold and placement is never for sale. Any commercial or personal relationship with a subject is disclosed.
- Optional information stays optional
- Subscribing takes an email address. Anything else is optional, never sold, and never a condition of reading.
Right of reply: anyone named in a Signal Note can respond, contest a fact, or ask for identifying detail to be removed — write to hello@qedgeasia.com.
