We've noticed the same thing with Boosts not helping our stories nearly as much as during the early months of the Boost program. It's sad.

Also, our most impactful (imo) and engaging story this morning is by a person celebrating their unlikely triumph escaping misogyny. Sadly, I'm not nominating that story to be Boosted, because it directly addresses issues of sexuality that Medium will not boost.

It's really hard for us queer people to effectively share our stories when critical parts of our lives are off limits to discussion:
