LOUD & QUEER 18

We have all taken different journeys to reach queerness, but many of us have tales of the first moments we experienced queerness. The first time at Pride or in queer spaces; the first time wearing something different; the first time feeling love for another queer person; or the first time learning the word that felt like you. The magic of queerness rises like the sun when these moments happen. The pages of this zine think and reflect on the different experiences of queer awakening.
