This Queer Arab Family - An Anthology By LGBTQ+ Arab Writers

This Queer Arab Family celebrates the family we inherit and the friends we choose as family. Elias Jahshan presents ten LGBTQ+ writers from across the Arab world and diaspora who are redefining what traditional families look like. From raising children with dad and dad, to cooking with sisters on the other side of the world and finding kinship in gender neutral toilets, community can be found in the most unexpected places. This groundbreaking collection is testament to the challenges and triumphs that bind us together. This Queer Arab Family is here to slay.
