Judith Butler reads a post from Queering the Map in Gaza, in conversation with Nasri Sayegh Jr.

In Rafah, Palestine "...i miss you beyond words can describe, i wish if i had the courage to tell you but again i was scared, I didn't want to cause you any trouble. Now both of us outside gaza strip, but much far a way from each other, بحبك وبخيالي انتي كمان بتحبيني."

In Rafah, Palestine "...she got married later and i left gaza strip, to this day i think of you, to this day i wish to be back to sleep with you in the same bed, i want you to call for my name again, i wish if i can be with you again my heartبحبك وبالرغم من الي صار دايما في بالي"

Through the online platform Queering the Map, stories of queer Palestinians can live on forever, asserting to the world that they do, in fact, exist.

Incredible speech on queer liberation and Palestine from @FindingNevo1. Here reading out a story from a queer Palestinian via Queering the Map

There is no liberation for LGBTQ Palestinians when Israeli soldiers are literally raising the rainbow flag over the rubble they are buried beneath. Genocide cannot be pinkwashed. In today's #ceasefireNOW debate I quoted Gazans' final posts on @queeringthemap_

in Gaza, Palestine: "Pls know despite what the media says there are gay Palestinians. We are here, we are queer. Free Palestine."

in Gaza, Palestine: "During the Palestinian nakba, my grandparents were forced out of their land to Lebanon. The only thing grandpa got from the house before fleeing was the key and a picture of him and grandma infront their house..."

in Tel Aviv, Israel: "First time visiting Israel/Palestine, I dated an ex airforce officer... He was trying to impress me by telling me he targeted a residential building in Gaza. I'll never forget this date, it changed my whole perspective about the conflict"

in Gaza, Palestine: “The only thing that keeps me patient living in Gaza is the sea and you الاشي الوحيد يلي مصبرني على العيشة بغزة هو البحر و انتي”

in Gaza, Palestine: "Idk how long I will live so I just want this to be my memory here before I die...I was too shy to kiss last time. He died in the bombing. I think a big part of me died too. And soon I will be dead. To younus, i will kiss you in heaven."

in Gaza, Palestine: “I wish I could watch the sunset over Gaza sea with you. For one night I wish this occupation was no longer and that we could be free for once on our own land.”

At Ben Gurion Airport, Israel:"I received messages at grindr from Israeli men wearing military uniform saying they will kill me' with photos of D9- Z machine guns with laughing faces...I had to delete the Palestinian flag next to my name to stop receiving these kinds of messages"

In Gaza, Palestine: "I’ve always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand and hand, free at last...Yet you are gone now. If I had known that bombs raining down on us would take you from me, I would have gladly told the world how I adored you more than anything."

In a moment when journalists have been under attack and a blockade on electricity has severely limited the ability of people in Gaza to get their message out, Queering the Map has become an essential tool for queer Palestinians. https://t.co/jghVDmPAJx
