Title: A Queer Cousin Story
Description: "This story is about meeting a Queer cousin I never knew I had. I found out about this cousin when I read an interview with Queer Muslims responding to the shootings at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando in June 2016. The zine was written and finalised during fascist times in the u.s., and a few weeks after a white supremacist murdered six Muslim men at a mosque in sainte-foy, quebec city. The impetus of this zine is to remember the systems we are up against, but also to focus on what we are struggling for, and why we fight back. My goal is to document and share this story of inspiration and beauty. The tenderness that informs this storytelling informs its form: a zine. This story is about learning another depth of one's Queerness." -- the author
