Sorry, QLQ is a new term to me, but would I count if I love queer men as a queer nb myself?

yes!! definitely

[queerlovingqueer]

It will be allright. Maybe not today. Maybe it will take a long time. And then comes the time where you realize your happy moments have become more than the bad ones. Take care of the moments and memories that make you happy, cultivate them. And they will grow until your barren land has grown into a wild forest.

[queerlovingqueer]

To the people who had their culture taken, who stopped eating the typical cuisine of their family. who denied liking to wear the style of their heritage. who were unable to find proof of queerness in their culture because of white washed history. You are strong, you have survived and you will thrive. History is queer, the world is queer. We will reclaim what bigots tried to take from us. And no matter what has been lost, we are still here And from what has been burned, bashed and burried, new life will grow. Queerness is growth. And while nothing stays the same, we can create things to fill the gaps left behind.

Every lesbian is a lesbian. The only thing every lesbian has in common is loving women(and such aligned people). Being a lesbian has not to mean anything else. You do not need to cloth yourself a certain way. Being a lesbian does not mean to hate a certain kind of genital. Being lesbian does also not mean to love a certain kind of genital. And neither have you to hate penetration for being a *proper lesbian*. It does not matter if you thought you were straight or bi, or a cis man. It does not matter how your genitals look. It does not matter what partners you had before, before you realised you are a lesbian. It also does not matter how many partners you had, or if those relationships were good or bad. You do not have to have trauma to find out you are a lesbian. You do not have to have bad experiences with men to be a real lesbian. And having had bad experiences and trauma with  women as your partners does not make you a bad lesbian.

You are strong, you are good, you will find your place.

[queerlovingqueer]

Dear men who love men. You are not fake for not liking to be penetrated. You are loving men, that does not mean you have to love pxnis. You are loving men, and that does not mean you have to like being penetrated. You love men, that does not mean you have to penetrate your partner. Your love for men is just as much and just as true as with other  men who like these things.

It is not just friendship, and you are not *fake gay*. It also does not matter if this was caused by trauma or not. Sometimes things are just that way. Life is complicated. And if that changes, good for you. And if it stays just the same after years and years, good for you. People should not belittle your feelings, and I am sorry there are those who do. You will always have a place in the queer community. I love you for being here, despite the struggles. You are strong, keep going.

[queerlovingqueer]

To the older people who have not yet found out who they love, or in which way. It is okay to struggle, that does not make you fake, nor makes the experiences you had useless. There is no age at which you have to have found out who you are. And there is also no age where your orientation has to be turned to stone. For some people this is an everchanging process of a grande scale. As long as we live, we can and do change. Change is what we are, there is no need to be ashamed.

I set up a suggestion blog for qlq people. it's @qlqsuggestion and you should go follow it :)

[queerlovingqueer]

If you are queer and love other queer people, you can call yourself QLQ and count yourself into this community. I made this term, and I didn’t make it so I could gatekeep who has access to it. I want everyone who feels like they have something to gain from it and something to offer to the community to have access to this term, and to feel welcome here. 

[queerlovingqueer]

could a woman who's attracted to only other queer people use the qlq label? for a long while i considered myself a lesbian bc i knew for certain i'd never be able to be attracted to cishet men, and since that was mostly all the men i was around/were attracted to ME I just left it at that. but i'm starting to think that maybe i just have a PREFERENCE for women, but if i were to meet the right lgbt+ guy i could POSSIBLY see myself in a relationship with them, but still not someone cishet.

sure!! you can identify as qlq if you feel like the label helps you to describe your experiences. like I’m attracted to queer identified people primarily, regardless of gender/presentation. and you’re also welcome to use the wlq label - it even has a flag :)

again, if you feel like the label and community is something you want access to, you count <3

[queerlovingqueer]

This might sound like a dumb question but what does queer loving queer mean? Does it includ everyone in lgbtq? Or is it specific to those who identify as queer and or gender queer?

anyone who self identifies with the word queer and loves other queer people counts under the QLQ label. when I coined the term I wanted it to be as vast as possible so like you can count urself as qlq even if you only experience platonic love for queer ppl, or any kind of love for queer ppl while being queer urself. if you feel like it would make you happy to id as qlq, you’re welcome to.

Queerian Pride Flag

Queerian (QLQ): queer loving queer; one who celebrates queer love; queercentered relationship(s), between queer individuals (queership/s).

Based on this post from @wedontcareaboutyourbinary. Not the same as queerplatonic relationships (QPR). ~ ap

[imoga-pride]

Some GLQ Flags

Based on the queerian (QLQ) flag, here are gender-loving queer flags:

WLQ Flag

WLQ or QLW (woman-loving queer or queer loving women): An unifying term for queer folk whose love of women is stigmatized and discouraged.

MLQ Flag

MLQ or QLM (man-loving queer or queer loving men): An unifying term for queer folk whose love of men is stigmatized and discouraged.

Terms coined by @wedontcareaboutyourbinary on this post.

[wedontcareaboutyourbinary]

As the coiner of these terms — I don’t really love QLQ because I don’t think it understands what I was talking about.

These flags are pretty rad though!

@wedontcareaboutyourbinary but @queerlovingqueer (QLQ) sounds very useful for any LGBTQ+ in relationship(s) with other LGBTQ+, regardless if they are dissimilarly gendered/aligned/oriented/sexed

Trail of Lightning (The Sixth World) (2018)

While most of the world has drowned beneath the sudden rising waters of a climate apocalypse, Dinétah (formerly the Navajo reservation) has been reborn. The gods and heroes of legend walk the land, but so do monsters.

Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine.

Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a patchwork world of deteriorating technology.

As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive.

Welcome to the Sixth World.

Beautiful piece and image description by artist @makedaisychains on Instagram.

[image description: hand drawn of a white cat holding a banner up which is the bisexual flag of pink purple and blue with “anyone who feels queer is queer” written on it. The cat has a collar with a pride flag shaped into a heart hanging from it. The background is the transflag. There is a circular border which contains various flags including the intersex flag, pansexual, genderqueer, asexual and black POC pride flag. Second image is of my white cat looking at the drawing]
