The West Midland's LGBT+ radio station, Gorgeous FM, marked Boxing Day with a 24 hour rave and radio-thon. The non-profit making radio service is a community interest company, and any money it has after any financial year is reinvested in its services. With Midlands Zone magazine having closed in 2020, the station is now a key piece of LGBTQ media for the Midlands, and its DAB signal, heard across Birmingham and the Black Country, including parts of Shropshire and the Potteries is avidly listened to by local LGBTQ people. The fundraiser also collected funds for Compton Care - a local charity for palliative care and offering support for people with life limiting conditions. The music aired by the 24 hour rave included camp classics, house, techno, rave and bhangra.
