I Am Connected

Queer Joy is deeply rooted in connection - not just to community, but to the understanding that we are never only ourselves. The old idea of being self-contained, of existing in isolation, doesn’t hold up when your identity is shaped in dialogue with others, with culture, with resistance, and love. “I’m connected, therefore I am” speaks to the queer truth that we are reflections, echoes, and co-creators in a web of chosen family, shared history, and collective becoming. Our joy is magnified in community, in being seen and held and understood. And in that, we find something sacred.
