“This magazine is hopefully an introduction to queerness as something people can use for self expression. Though queerness has not been a very welcome identity in spaces, but that has not stopped us from having fun in our own spaces while still fighting for a better tomorrow. We also wanted to include another fight for liberation, the feminist movement.”
—Misbah Lakhani, Editor
