Queer Joy is...
"Simply existing and sitting in queerness; where the world is secondary to my experience. It's not my joy existing in reaction to my oppression, sadness or depression, but it just exists. On its own"
Join in on an important discussion on Queer joy with Iphile and Njabu who gracefully shared their definition of queer joy and why its important to be intentional about it in this life and its distressing nature.
