Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The Bishop of Chelmsford (letter, 27 February) writes of sex as "a beautiful but fragile gift from God", and then rants on about the "most graphic sex scenes shown on TV", referring to Queer as Folk. What rubbish! Similar scenes of heterosexual sex are shown almost nightly. Would he be describing a show with so-called straight sex as "pleasure turned nasty"? I doubt it. The real "nasty pleasure" is that shown by the God-squad in their increasing obsession with judging the sex lives of others.
