This Queer Arab Family

An Anthology by LGBTQ+ Arab Writers

This Queer Arab Family explores redefining family roles in Arab culture, where personal desires are often sacrificed for the collective. Through stories of Queer Arabs, it celebrates the family we inherit and friends we choose, highlighting challenges and triumphs from raising children to forging kinship.

In Arab culture, tradition often dictates an individual’s role in a family, with personal desires subsumed in favour of unity. So, what happens when Queer Arabs challenge and re-imagine these expectations?

This Queer Arab Family celebrates the beauty of chosen kin and the everyday acts of care and survival that bind Queer Arabs to each other. Here, ten LGBTQ+ writers from across the Arab world and diaspora redefine what family looks like. From raising children with mum and mum, to becoming an OnlyFans star and building a non-binary belly dancing robot, these writers illuminate, through their own lived experiences, how queer joy and community can be found in the most unexpected places.

Fierce, vibrant and unapologetic, This Queer Arab Family honours the spirit of those who, despite challenges, build community and family on their own terms.
