“For me, queer joy looks like a celebration of uninhibited self-expression free from expectations around sexuality and gender performance,” said Goings, a diversity trainer at California State University-Monterey Bay who identifies as bigender. “It embraces human relationships, gender and sexuality in all of its complexity and diversity. Being comfortable in my own identity means deeply knowing that my sexuality and gender expression is a blessing to all who are willing to receive.”
