Welcome to the Stories section

— Anonymous

This is where community stories will live. Anonymous, first-person narratives from queer Iraqis. Each story will be reviewed by the collective with the contributor before publication, with any identifying details carefully removed.

If you have a story you would like to share — about coming out, about staying in, about navigating family or finding chosen family, about hope or loss or anything in between — reach out via the community channel.

Your voice matters. Your story might be the one another person needs to read.
