Affections - A Queer Open Mic

Affections : An Open-mic about Queer Love

This week - Joy is a Protest too

 Call me a bimbo if you will but I like being happy. That's it. No specific reason no cause just that. And for a community for which one of the core derivative words mean happiness I find it a matter of sadness that rather a lot of our communal gatherings are just the opposite. Spaces of sadness and difficulty and commiseration. And while sheer practicality has forced us to be so?

I've decided that the best form of protest is just being happy. That's it. Nothing more. Joy is a protest undeniable and I'd like us to do just that. Be joyous about being queer. And share it with everyone else.

Because joy is a protest too.

-The Curators
