Journalist and activist Paris Lees has been announced as Attitude magazine's new Editor-at-Large from March 1, where each month she'll write a column for the magazine, an opinion piece for the website, and app-only feature The Paris Lees Interview.

Lees, who was named the most influential LGBT person in the UK by the Independent on Sunday's Pink List and was the first transgender person to appear as a panellist on Question Time, commented 'Queer culture has always been an exciting, creative and dynamic arena for me to explore my evolution from skinny gay boy to woman-on-a-mission and I couldn't be more pleased to be joining such a talented body of writers, stylists and photographers'.
