The Zest Is Here

There’s a special kind of joy that comes from doing, from making, from pouring ourselves into something that reflects who we are. For queer people, that joy is often hard-won. It's born from the act of reclaiming our stories, reshaping what the world told us was possible. Whether it’s a poem, a protest, a lovingly set table, or a new version of self, the joy is in the doing. It’s in the zest - that fierce, undeniable spark that says, I made this, and it matters. Queer Joy thrives here, in the celebration of creation, of effort, of authenticity. It’s not just happiness - it’s pride, it’s purpose, it’s power.
