inQluded: Issue Four | Love Lives Here

inQluded is a literary magazine and platform for and by QTIBIPoC youth of color (queer, trans, intersex, Black, Indigenous and people of color).

This issue, as you've probably guessed, is all about love. As QTBIPOC young people, it’s imperative that we have a space where we can express ourselves freely. It is imperative that we have an opportunity to create art that is joyful and loving.

The way we love may be different from the way someone else loves, but that doesn’t mean that our love is wrong. Love can never be wrong. I know that I am tired of the singular narratives and stereotypes that persist outside of our community: that our stories are only ones of sadness and trauma. We are more than that.

We deserve a love story. Here’s our love story
