We Came to Dance: A Queer Anthology Benefitting Club Q - E-book - ePub

Stories of joy, music, and community. Amphibian Press welcomes you to stand up with us as we support Club Q through storytelling. On November 19, 2022, an LGBT community hub and nightclub called Club Q in Colorado Springs was attacked. Five beautiful, vibrant people were lost. Someone silenced the music everyone in the club had come to celebrate with gunfire. We came together with a dozen authors from around the world to share a diverse array of characters and worlds: a found-family in the post-apocalypse; excited teen couples attending a hopepunk concert; the otherworldly experience of base-heavy queer club; a tender proposal almost-spoiled by hijinks; and a sci-fi medic trying to remember how to trust after a decade on the run.
These are stories of queer joy, filled with gender and culture-diverse characters, found family, community solidarity, love, comfort and hope.  We won't let the music be silenced. All proceeds will be donated to the Club Q community via Colorado Healing Fund. FEATURING THESE INCREDIBLE STORIES"The Hunter in the Underground" - Jules Vasquez"Speaking of Happiness" - Alexandra Caluen"Paradise City" - Olivia Wylie"The Christmas Spirit" - Jason Dias"A Waltz and a Wave" - K.
