As two holidays intersected and Queer Muslims began celebrating life at the intersection, a new holiday was born: PrEIDe.

OPEN THREAD: Thank Goddess It’s Christmakwanzakah

I want to know everything about your holigay celebrations and your day-to-day life and I want to know it now and I ideally want you to wrap it up in tissue paper inside of a baby pink plastic bag and then put that bag inside of a box inside of a box inside of a box inside of a box, with each box intricately wrapped in paper, so that I can spend as much time immersed in the everlasting gift of your love as possible.
