Image 1: “Every know and then I open on this website to re-read the Palestinian stories, and everytime I cry. I wish I was able to share a Igbtq experience I had in Tiberias but I cant because I'm a refugee. The only thing I know about this place is what my grandparents went through in the 1948. Not love but misery. To any one reading this please dont support settler colonialism please dont support our ethnic cleansing”
Image 2: “I wish I could watch the sunset over Gaza sea with you. For one night I wish this occupation was no longer and that we could be free for once on our own land.”
Image 3: “The place where you died, even though we were only penpals, I love you to my core, 5 years of the best friendship.
Ahmad died of the airstrike, you died of heartbreak. Khalid, love you, I loved the way you came out to me, how I came out to you, how you introduced Ahmad as your boyfriend, I wanted to share your hurts with me, but we're seas apart, I'll free Palestine just for your eyes. I hope you rest well in heaven, kiss Ahmad all you want, and be very happy, in this life or another I'll follow you, and we can unite, I love you to Icarus and beyond 💗”
Image 4: “I existed all over here. Was subjected to checkpoints and segregation here. I yearn to return here. A queer Palestinian. Free Palestine and f*ck pinkwashing.”
Image 5: “My sitti died without ever seeing this city again. In 1948 she was sent into exile from her homeland, from Jaffa "the bride of the sea". Before she died, she told me about a woman she once loved here. After the Nakba, she never saw her again. She never even found out if she survived. She told me she still thinks about her. I still mourn the life my grandmother might have been able to live here, in this city, in her homeland. I still mourn the love she shared with this woman, only to be torn apart by 60 years of exile. This land was her birthright. This life was her birthright.
They were stolen from her. This place will be liberated. I will return one day to a liberated Palestine. For her.”
Image 6: “I hate this fucking unfair life because if my rights aren't debatable as a Palestinian in the Arab world it's debatable as a queer and if my rights aren't debatable as a queer in the west it's debatable as a Palestinian.”
Image 7: “I'm from rafah and she's from deir al balah, she got married later and i left gaza strip, to this day i think of you, to this day i wish to be back to sleep with you in the same bed, i want you to call for my name again, i wish if i can be with you again my heart. صار دايما في بالي بحبك وبالرغم من الي.”
