Where The Joy Is
"Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself"
Queer joy is a testament to the fight—the act of showing up for ourselves and our community, even when it’s hard. It’s in every attempt to live authentically, every boundary we set, and every moment we stand firm in our truth. The joy isn’t just in reaching the finish line; it’s in the courage it takes to keep moving, to keep hoping, and to keep loving through the struggles. Queer joy doesn’t wait for perfect moments or easy victories—it thrives in the messy, beautiful journey of becoming who we are meant to be.
