Bridge Ink has partnered with Let’s Say Gay for our third year in a row for this very special Pride-themed issue, Rainbow Ink: Identities! (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 2025. We are so grateful to all who submitted.
