Maybe you want to write the LGBTQIA+ story you never saw growing up. Maybe you want to turn your lived experience as a genderqueer person into something more. Maybe you have a nonbinary character who's been living in your head, waiting to share their story 

Whatever it is, the way you tell authentic queer stories can make all the difference. There are thousands of stories out there, but authentic LGBTQIA+ representation is what's going to separate yours from the rest. Now, more than ever, we need to tell our own stories in our own voices.

We're the founding team of queer trans people building Rainbow Refuge, a cooperative community in Bonney Lake, WA where 2SLGBTQIA+ folks fleeing hostile states can land safely, get stable, and thrive, not just survive.
