AfroQueer is about queer Africans living, loving, surviving and thriving, in the African continent and its Diaspora.

17/07/2025

Across the continent, gender has never been one-size-fits-all. From the Buganda kingdom to the Swahili coast, our ancestors embraced fluidity, multiplicity, and identity beyond the binary.

This Non-Binary Awareness Week, we honour non-binary Africans — past, present, and future.

📣 It’s Non-Binary Awareness Week! 🌈✨

This week, we honour the beauty, strength, and expansiveness of non-binary people — in Africa, across the diaspora, and around the world.

Non-binary identities have always existed — long before the world tried to enforce binaries. From gender-fluid spirits in ancient African cosmologies to today’s non-binary artists, activists, and healers shaping culture and demanding visibility, we see you. We are you.

At AfroQ***r, we believe in telling the full story — and that includes stories that blur the lines, challenge categories, and embody freedom.

This week, we’ll be sharing:
- Terms and language from African cultures that defy the gender binary.
- Resources and affirmations for our non-binary kin.

✨ To all non-binary people: Your existence is not up for debate. You are valid. You are powerful. You are loved.

Pride Month may be ending —
but we are not. 🌈

We are still loving.
Still creating.
Still telling the truth in our languages, our laughter, our legacies.

This June, we remembered where we came from — and imagined where we’re going.

Now we carry it forward.
In every beat, every breath, every bond we build.

💬 What did Pride 2025 mean to you?

🏳️‍🌈 Pride isn’t a month.

It’s not just hashtags or rainbows or festivals.

It’s you — waking up and choosing to be.
It’s joy in public.
Grief with community.
Kinship without apology.

This Pride Month may be ending, but our stories don’t pause.

✨ We are q***r. We are African. We are here — every damn day.

One day, a q***r African will call you ancestor.
They’ll find your laughter in a reel.
They’ll hear your courage in a story.

Now we ask you: What do you want them to inherit from you?

Drop your legacy in the comments or DM us. We’re building a living archive.

💘 Q***r African Love Is Sacred.

In countries where our love is criminalised, in families where our names are erased, q***r Africans still find ways to love — with tenderness, with truth, with fire.

From hidden kisses in matatus to voice notes sent across oceans, from chosen family rituals to rooftop date nights — our love lives.

With Pride Month, AfroQ***r honors q***r love in all its African glory.

💬 What’s the most sacred act of q***r love you’ve witnessed or shared? Tag someone you love, miss, or celebrate.

A Brief History of African Q***r Resistance 🌍🏳️‍🌈
Q***r resistance isn’t new — it’s ancestral. It’s creative. It’s powerful.

From underground drag shows in East Africa to the frontlines of digital activism in Nigeria, q***r Africans have always found ways to resist, love, and live — despite the laws, the silence, the danger.

This Pride Month, we honor that legacy and continue the work through story.

What’s a moment of q***r African history you want the world to remember?

What does care look like when the world tells you not to exist?
For q***r Africans, it’s a playlist when you can’t sleep. A “how are you… really?” text. A friend who shows up even when you’re silent.

💜 That’s mental health support. That’s resistance. That’s love.
We want to know: What does community care look like in your life?

Tag your people. Tell your story. Or just let this sit with you today.

Wellness Wednesday Check-In

As q***r Africans, our mental health journeys are often shaped by resistance, creativity, and deep care — even when we don’t always call it that.

Maybe it’s dancing, cooking, journaling in secret, crying to a playlist.

So we want to know: How do you take care of your mental health as a q***r African?

Drop us a comment or send a DM—we’ll be sharing stories all month. Let us know if you’d prefer to stay anonymous.

Your story might help someone else feel seen.

✨ Mental Health Monday ✨

Let’s talk about the weight we carry.

🧠 For many q***r Africans, mental health isn’t just about stress or anxiety — it’s also about surviving systems that weren’t made for us.

🌍 From the colonial laws that criminalize us, to homophobia and transphobia in our communities, to the silence around mental health — these forces deeply shape how we see ourselves and how we cope.

💔 We are not broken — we’re navigating harm that was never meant to be healed. But together, we are reclaiming joy, language, and community.

Tag a friend to remind them that they matter.

What helps you feel grounded?
