As in closets, cauldrons, or festivals, variety extends the life of the joyous and the dynamic. As we process, surrender and grow into who we desire to be, as queer folk or otherwise, these expansive elements make for a more enjoyable journey. Whether serious, silly or in-between, may these international stories be set free!
Como en los armarios, los calderos o los festivales, la variedad prolonga la vida de lo alegre y dinámico. A medida que procesamos, nos entregamos y nos convertimos en quienes deseamos ser, como personas queer o demás, estos elementos expansivos hacen que el viaje sea más agradable. Ya sean serias, tontas o intermedias, ¡que estas historias internacionales sean liberadas!
