“I am everything and nothing. I am everything you see in me. You are my mirror and I am your mirror. No condemnations. I am sad. I am happy. I am a child. I am grown-up. I am masculine. I am feminine. I am shy. I am wild. Just love."

"We live in the world where we put labels on everything. And by putting this labels we create the limits and borders. And for me the word queer actually means borderless. Fuck norms and rules. Queer means simply to be without many attempts to fit in."

"At times I am suffocated by how overwhelmingly my identity and sense of self is defined by my queerness. My bisexuality has never resulted in this, but the more I began to struggle with my gender, the more my self-image became influenced by my queerness"

“To me, being queer means having the freedom to decide who I want to be. But if I can be whoever I want to be, how am I supposed to decide? It’s like the whole world is a teenager and we’re just now coming out of the closet.”

“Queer is to defy gender norms, to defy heterosexuality, to be you without the limitations that comes with society’s expectations and standards. Queer is power in us together. Queer is solidarity with one another. Queer is me.”

“Being queer is a feeling of otherness that’s fighting it’s way up to the sun like a flower through the provincial scrub. If I were a bit more resolute it would make me stronger, but because I also connect great fear with it, it is like a Janus head."

“Being queer ist not a label for us that defines us. We just love ourselves, because it’s beautiful and the world definitely needs more beauty.”

"för mig handlar queer om att få älska och vara på mitt eget sätt. jag vill låta relationer växa för sig själva, utan att förhålla mig till regler om hur de borde vara. kärlek och närhet är det finaste jag vet och jag vill inte låta det begränsas."

"Once one has understood how wonderful it is to not define yourself, one will become hooked on this freedom. Then, one wants to destroy every boundary, because so many beautiful and exciting things await us behind these limitations.”

"Being queer is natural to me. When I accepted myself for being queer, everything made much more sense. Things that used to confuse me are now obvious. I hope more people accept themselves for who they are so they can feel this sense of clearness."

“Queer. For me it’s all about freedom and expression. The freedom to be who I am - with all of my facets. Impartial to sex or gender. To love freely. To freely explore different parts of myself and to express them in my drag in a community."

“Queer for me is a political ideology that questions and challenges heteronormativity and all the social constructs that come with that.” "I generally have a problem with the classiﬁcation of masculine and feminine. The heteronormative idea of gender."

"Simply labeling it all queer gives me the ability to harness that change without getting hurt by the confusion. Adopting the queer label allowed me to stop looking, gave me the freedom to not care so much, to just be."

"Show your teeth. Standing up and standing out. Noticeable. Singled out. Watched. Anger. Unsafe. Worried. Hide. Hopelessness. Safe in group. A bit stronger together. Shared struggled. Shared grief. Family. Loved. Hope. Growing into my skin. Everchanging."

“There are so many different types of sexual orientation and sexual identities. Every year, more and more people are being courageous enough about opening up, accepting who they are and learning to love themselves."
