Something that I value about the queer community is our radical creativity in imagining and working towards a world where we are no longer obliged to uphold cishetero norms. Those norms are so ingrained into our beings that it can be hard to envision anything else, and yet we continue believing that another world is possible. Maybe this is part of the reason that so many queer folks are drawn to the literary genre of fantasy. Many of us who experience limited or conditional acceptance in the real world find true homes in the universes that fantasy authors build for us.
