As Queer Ethiopia, we wanted to send a heartfelt New Year message to our beloved community.
Despite the many challenges and obstacles that we may face, we remain strong in our commitment to celebrate our identities and support one another.
The past year has presented many hardships and uncertainties, but it has also shown us the incredible resilience and fortitude of our community. We have come together in solidarity and fought tirelessly for ourselves.
As we embark on a new year, let us continue to lift each other up, share our stories, and celebrate our diversity. Let us continue to break down barriers and create meaningful change for the LGBTQ+ community.
We are proud to be a part of this incredible community, and we are excited to see what the future holds for us. Wishing you all a Happy New Year, full of love, happiness, and continued progress towards developing our solidarity.
"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.
