Joy Oladokun’s Love Letter to the LGBTQ Community

In honor of Pride, read joyoladokun's love letter to the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈

I’m Joy, and a lot of you don’t know me. I’m not too mad about it. There are billions of people on the planet and some of them are much better at music than I am. I’ve been asked to write you a note because I’m a queer person making art at a wild time in a wild world.

The thing that strikes me most when I get my head out of the chaos is how much of the good in this world and in my life is queer. I think that’s what makes continued attacks on our community so disheartening. When I see queer people, I see life, love, creativity and resilience. Then I turn around and see a world where physical and verbal violence towards queer people is becoming energized and normalized again.
