Griffin Hansbury
“Out there, we understand, there is another way to want, to have, to be. Sometimes, even when we do not venture out to find it, when we try to want only what we are given, the object comes to us. And the world, without our consent, breaks open and expands.”
Griffin Hansbury, Some Strange Music Draws Me In

Alexis Pauline Gumbs
“Our definition of queer is that which fundamentally transforms our state of being and the possibilities for life. That which is queer is that which does not reproduce the status quo.”
Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines
