Anger
“Anger ... it's a paralyzing emotion ... you can't get anything done. People sort of think it's an interesting, passionate, and igniting feeling — I don't think it's any of that —
Transform anger into action and empowerment is exactly what Queer resilience is! Anger at injustice and discrimination is totally valid and reflexive, but staying in that emotion can paralyze us. Instead, we draw on strength, focus, and control to channel that frustration into meaningful change. Whether it’s creating art that sparks awareness, organizing to fight for rights, or simply living authentically, we choose to act with intention and purpose. Resilience isn’t about denying anger—it’s about refusing to let it consume us. That’s how we move forward and thrive.
