Strength in Survival
“Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.”
Many of us have faced rejection, discrimination, or struggles with self-acceptance, and while those experiences may leave scars, they also forge an incredible resilience. Knowing you’ve endured - and thrived - through life’s challenges is a powerful realization. Being a Joyful Queer means embracing that strength and channeling it into a life of authenticity and joy. Survival isn’t just about getting through—it’s about growing, thriving, and creating a world where we can celebrate ourselves and each other. Our resilience is our power, and it fuels the joy that lights our way forward.
