Welcome

Dear Queer Youth is an international organization founded queer youth and for queer youth. Our mission is to empower and uplift the voices of queer youth. We do this by

1) publishing literature and art from queer youth

2) hosting regular virtual and in-person community events for queer youth.

3) hosting fundraisers to donate money to LGBTQ+ charities

Literature

  • "A five-letter syllable that begins with a question and ends with a listening ear. A word for which every time I think I’ve found a definition, it away slips from my fingertips. A story of a detective following leads that never lead to culprits, but only to more possibilities..."

    Queer by Sruthi Amalan

  • The clouds part in the corner; you can see the linear sun rays fall, lighting up the trees, their leaves. Raindrops glistening, under each umbrella a diamond is hidden in the rough, my inner altruist feels them shine. It smells like a queer, sultry summer.

    Citrus by Ekaterina Khakimullina

  • The fairy wren gifting a petal to another male / A beautiful mating ritual / The swallowtail butterfly / with one male and one female wing / Still able to fly with its colors.

    Solidarity by Taz Hunt

  • Grown men scream / Lesbian in your face / Laughing is the only shield you can have / Seven year olds don’t have self respect

    Anxious but Attached By Rachel Moniz
