Defining Connection
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
Queer connection is a powerful source of joy, built on the energy of being truly seen, heard, and valued. In chosen families and Queer communities, we create spaces where judgment is replaced with celebration, and giving and receiving love come naturally. These connections are more than relationships—they’re lifelines that sustain us and make us stronger. Queer joy thrives in this shared energy, where we uplift one another, knowing that together we are more vibrant, resilient, and unstoppable. Connection isn’t just what we seek—it’s what fuels us.
