The telling of these stories, the recognition of queer people and their humanity, is the only way out for our community to adequately support all of our members – it is the only way out for all of us.

Since our launch last October, Thaen X has commissioned brilliant racialized queer writers. They have explored culture, entertainment, relationships and intimacy through personal narratives and analysis. For Pride Month, we’re resharing these pieces and thanking folks for choosing Thaen X to share their stories.
