🌈✨ 慶祝酷兒聲音 ✨🌈

今個同志驕傲月，我哋將會每個星期重點介紹喺英國同香港致力推動LGBT+ 權益嘅組織同人物。

1️⃣ 🌈 Jeanette Winterson 係英國得獎作家，佢嘅代表作《Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit》講述喺嚴格宗教家庭中成長、逐步認同自己女同志身份嘅故事。作為公開出櫃嘅作家，Winterson 一直以文字挑戰刻板印象、細說酷兒故事，無懼為平權發聲。

2️⃣ 📚 流動閱酷（Q***r Reads Library，QRL）係一個成立於2018年、由義工營運嘅流動閱讀平台，致力保存 LGBT+ 文學同獨立刊物。佢唔單止係一個圖書館，更係一個俾大家交流、創作同建立連結嘅安全空間，令酷兒故事喺香港得以延續、被更多人接觸。

酷兒故事唔單止係回憶嘅記錄，更可以俾我哋去想像一個愛無界限嘅未來。🏳️‍🌈

🌈✨ Celebrating Q***r Voices ✨🌈

This Pride Month we will be spotlighting organisations and individuals each week who are committed to LGBT+ rights in the UK and Hong Kong.

1️⃣ 🌈Jeanette Winterson — Award-winning British author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a groundbreaking novel about growing up in a strict religious household and discovering her le***an identity. As an openly le***an writer, Winterson has used her voice to challenge stereotypes, amplify q***r stories, and stand as a fearless advocate for equality and visibility.

2️⃣ Q***r Reads Library (Hong Kong) — A volunteer-run community archive founded in 2018, dedicated to preserving LGBT+ literature, zines, and independent publications. More than a library, QRL is a safe space for dialogue, creativity, and solidarity, keeping q***r stories alive and accessible in Hong Kong.

Together, they remind us that q***r storytelling is a way to honour memory and imagine futures full of love without boundaries. 🏳️‍🌈
