Queer art is as much about starting conversations as it is about making dramatic statements. -Sasha Velour.

Your ex is not thinking about you. But we are. Specifically, about that one devastating line you wrote.

"By dawn, everyone is wearing those brightly colored vests and drinking from camping thermoses. ... Drippy orange spray paint carries tidings ordinarily exiled to basement man caves. Someone's car is scratched up. The vandal writes, Go Back To The Woods." Bambi is ANTIFA @queergazemag.bsky.social

Now that submissions are closed, time for us to read, cry, gasp dramatically and whisper "this is so gay and so devastating” at least 50 times.

Submissions closed! If you missed it, don’t worry, there will be another chance to procrastinate again soon.

Three days until the deadline? That’s plenty of time to write, delete, cry, rewrite, stare into the void and then submit something completely unhinged. We welcome it.

Every queer has two wolves inside them. One wants to wear a suit, the other wants to wear a corset. Both are dramatic.

Being a queer writer is just self-inserting but pretending it’s not.

Fun fact: Our subs close in 2 weeks!

You’ve stared at that piece long enough. It’s time.

Okay, but have you submitted yet?

Our subs are open! Submit your spookiest, scariest, queerest work to the link in our bio!

The gay panic in queer lit is so strong it should be classified as a genre

I came out, and now I can only read books where at least one character wears Doc Martens
