So Queerly Free
My GiveOUT Day 2022 Fundraising Campaign
This GiveOUT Day, I am fundraising to support the trans and queer youth leadership and freedom work led by GSA Network. In support of my efforts, I wrote a queer poem titled “So Queerly Free.” My poem includes two versions: Version A of SQF is a nine-line from the heart piece; Version B of SQF is an extended collection of shorter poems that take each of the nine lines from version A as a starting place.
Throughout the month of June, as GiveOUT Day fundraising continues, I’ll be sharing the extended parts of my work and asking my community to share and support. I believe in the wild dreams of young queers– I know we can feel freedom deep in their bodies, even before the world is ready to welcome us.
Donations can be made on my GiveOUT Day fundraising page here. I’ve also added a widget below that you can use to donate. All funds are processed via MightCause and GSA Network.

Will you let me be
So freely queer
