RAINBOW INK: a Bridge Ink & Let’s Say Gay collaboration

Bridge Ink has partnered with Let’s Say Gay for our second year in a row for this very special Pride-themed issue, Rainbow Ink: Louder! (Let’s Say Gay is a queer youth literary journal designed to create space for the LGBTQ+ community.) This special issue was open to queer artists between the ages of 13 and 18 in 2024. We are so grateful to all who submitted.
