Even though these are sad and painful times and the hatred and threats are continually reinforced, we take pride in knowing that we have each other’s back. The support, concern, and thoughtfulness we are showing each other is extraordinary.
Our resistance will continue amidst all this hate.
"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.
