🌈 Introducing: Defiant Moments 🌈
Following the success of our recent anthology Defining Moments — Essential Queer Stories, we are proud to bring you Defiant Moments — a collection of deeply personal, bold, and urgent stories that shine a light on the power of resilience and the necessity of resistance.
In Defining Moments, we explored narratives of courage, self-discovery, and navigating internalized homophobia and societal stigma. But as we enter a new, troubling chapter in our political landscape, Defiant Moments rises to meet the moment.
With federal cuts to education, science, and the arts — and with LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant rights, and racial equity under attack through efforts like Project 2025 — it is more critical than ever to raise up the voices that systems of power aim to silence.
This episode is a call to collective action and a celebration of queer and trans defiance. Through intimate stories, we explore the generational threads of resistance that shape our community: the moments where we said no to erasure, yes to ourselves, and yes to each other.
