Alex (they/them) is genderqueer, disabled, 19 years old, and a student at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. "Love (is Love) is Voting" is their first piece published with Shout Mouse Press; they have previously published pieces with other publications and were the editor-in-chief of Labyrinth, the Alexandria City High School literary magazine. Alex hopes that all readers who are eligible to vote will keep in mind how voting for homophobic and transphobic candidates — or failing to vote against these candidates — is actively harming the people in your life who are queer.
Available for preorder. Product will ship in June.
By the young writers of Shout Mouse Press
Young people from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum came together to explore what love looks like to them, in all its iterations. This anthology was dreamed as a response to book bans nationwide targeting literature featuring LGBTQIA+ characters and themes, and the related silencing of these voices and conversations. With the help of local queer teaching artists, young writers and artists responded to that call through poetry, prose, comics, art, and more. Their work shows us the love that they find everywhere: in their friends and family, their communities, and bubbling through their brilliant selves.
This project was created in partnership with The DC Center for the LGBT Community, Sasha Bruce Youthwork, SMYAL, and Split This Rock.
