We are excited to be launching our Telegram channel!
Queer Ethiopia has been engaged in developing content for the Ethiopian LBQ community both in Ethiopia and in the diaspora. It has developed content for blogs, podcasts, magazines and various other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The launch of our Telegram channel is an extension of this desire to continue engaging with our community. It is meant to provide an anonymous safe space where Ethiopian LBQ people can receive content on LBQ issues without having to be identified.
We believe that it is important to utilize various platforms to create a space where the LBQ community can receive information about lived experiences, stories and thoughts in regards to being an Ethiopian LBQ. We also hope that this channel will provide the community with a way to connect and support each other in all of our joyful and trying times.
Thank you for your participation and we look forward to your engagement!
"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.
