This Queer Arab Family - An Anthology by LGBTQ+ Arab Writers

Elias Jahshan

Sinopsis

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.

Once Upon a Sexy Scrooge

Brooke Blaine, Ella Frank

Ah, Christmas. The most magical time of the year. The snow is falling, cider is flowing, and couples are kissing under the mistletoe. 
 
 
 
Too bad all that makes me want to gag. 
 
 
 
It isn't that I'm a hater, it's just that I have a job to do, and this particular holiday is getting in the way of that. And I know what you'll say, that Micah Noble's Christmas Tree Farm is a beloved tradition for many of the families, but you have to see the bigger picture here: a luxury resort where overworked Manhattanites can escape to, a serene place of spas and shopping and watching sexy lumberjacks chopping wood . . . 
 
 
 
Scratch that last one. Lumberjacks aren't my thing. Anymore. Micah cured me of that, which tends to happen when you're trying to buy someone's family land to bulldoze to the ground. 
 
 
 
He can call me a Scrooge all he wants, but business is business, and pleasure is . . . well, not something I can afford to think about. Even if it does come packaged in those tight jeans and flannel shirts that make me want to rip them off with my teeth— 
 
 
 
No. This is not happening. I will not think of Micah as anything other than an obstacle to getting what I want. A really sexy obstacle. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Power Pose

Simpler Than Most

N.J. Lysk

Sergi has stopped lying to himself: he’s had a crush on a guy for a while. 
Things seem to be looking up when the guy turns out to be an omega and he agrees to take Sergi as his bondmate. But it isn’t as simple as alpha meets omega and they live happily ever after. 
For one thing, Ray has four other alphas. For another, one of them seems intent on ignoring every one of the conventions alphas are meant to live by. Sergi should be angry and he’s certainly worried, but the more lines Iesu crosses, the closer he gets to the person Sergi has always been afraid to be. 
Is Sergi brave enough to face himself and does Iesu have the patience to wait him out while he does?
