Summer Edition: Queer Joy

The idea of queer joy is different for everyone; some might see it as a fulfilling feeling of unapologetic self-expression, some might consider it the the feeling of being embraced by a community, others may have a more detailed real-life conception of it. Right off the top of my head, queer joy can be the pride and exhilaration of putting on a rainbow pin every morning, or dressing in a flamingo colored dress to visit Seven-Eleven on a hailstorm day.

For our summer edition, Queer Joy was our topic. There is no big or small; every piece of queer joy is significant and valuable, and it made us more than happy to hear about your idea and story.
