Joy - It's Right There

Joy doesn’t always arrive with fireworks - sometimes it’s a bird on the fire escape, the quiet rhythm of making coffee, the gentle presence that walks beside us without needing to announce itself. In queer life, joy often lives in these tender, ordinary moments, made extraordinary by how hard we’ve fought to claim them. It’s in noticing the world again after coming out of hiding, in the comfort of routine that once felt impossible, in the stillness that affirms we belong. Queer Joy is not just in the big milestones - it’s in the soft mornings, the simple tasks, the quiet company of ourselves. And that joy is real. It’s enough. It’s everything.
