Queer people are some of the strongest, most creative, and resilient people in human history. Not because oppression is noble, but because despite everything that has been done to us, we still create, love, organise, dream, and survive. We still build communities. We still hold one another through loss. We still imagine futures that many people tried to convince us we did not deserve.

"Can you help me not be Gay?" "Is there a medication that can make me straight?" "What therapy will fix me?" "I don't want to be like this!" These are real questions I've been asked by South Asian Queer individuals. The desperation in their words is palpable, stemming from a society that deems their existence unacceptable.​
