Snowflake magazine is looking for submissions of poetry, essays and flash fiction from self-identifying queer creators. Being queer already often sits outside the norm, so we encourage your pieces to do the same – really think outside the box!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bFor the safety of our editors, submissions without detailed trigger warnings\u00a0will\u00a0be rejected outright.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

The submission itself should either be made by or involve an artist who identifies as LGBTQ+ (or both!).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Often it is easy to assume that the majority of the LGBTQ+ community is mostly just the Ls and Gs, but that isn\u2019t the case, and is not the primary focus of this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sapphic, and its MLM equivalent Achillian, seeks to understand and explore the idea of same-sex\/gender relationships among cis and trans people. We want to hear from the gay transmascs or the cishet couple that became a lesbian relationship. We want to hear from the polyamorous bisexual with a same-sex partner, or non-binary people vibing hard together in their puddle of genderfluid. We want to hear from the girls, the guuurls, the butches, the fags, femmes, twinks, DINKs, dykes and bears. The aros, aces and the greys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your gender identity or sexual preferences, put the \u2018same\u2019 in same sex\/gender and show us in writing and poetry how you homo your sexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n
