The relationship between our 2SLGBTQQIA+ identities and pride is deeply personal, storied, and nuanced. Between ourselves as individual beautiful beings and the social discourse of pride and queerness exists a multidimensional and complex expanse. What does it mean to feel pride in who we are? In our communities? How do we show it? How do we grapple with the vast spectrum of safety and unsafety we exist in? In issue 24, we witness each other’s journeys, honour our experiences, and celebrate queer joy, whatever that looks like for us ♥
The undeniable resilience of the dandelion. Change across time. Navigating identity. Learning our history. Love. Acceptance. Interviews with Shawnee and Jen Kish on navigating family life online, Jeffrey Carpenter on building a magnificent local Pride celebration, and six photographers as they see themselves.
