As queer people sharing the stories of our LGBTQ+ community, we sometimes occupy what feels like a lonely place. Given the climate of fear for queer people in Ethiopia and the risk of compromising our safety, most choose to avoid direct engagement such as giving us feedback. We know, understand and respect these limitations. We were nevertheless excited when we randomly came across a TikTok video that shared content that we had published on Nisnis, our digital magazine.
Thank you for continuing to support us: By sharing our content and by sharing your stories when you can and by just listening, viewing and reading our content when you can’t.
Thank you, Etsegenet for sharing our content.

"Queer family" is an alternative space created by a group of queer Ethiopian women. It is designed to be a space for a diverse group of Ethiopian queer women whose sexual and gender identifications vary. It includes cis and trans women who may be lesbian, bisexual or asexual. This is a space where the experiences of queer people takes center stage. We hope to include personal experiences from our daily lives as queer people, various stories, interviews, original artwork and poetry. We hope it will also serve as a place where Ethiopians in Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the diaspora come as themselves to explore and create an online community.
