THE QUEER CODED ZINE by Emily A. Foster & H.E. Smith

A6, 72 pages, Colour printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2025

Did you know that white lilies are a symbol of lesbian love in Japan, Korea, and China?

If I said to you, that it seemed like ‘Jinit Jackson’ outside or that it was time to ‘lafang’, would you know what I meant?

These are both examples of queer codes; ways queer people can represent themselves without outing themselves. In this zine, we will explore a wide range of queer codes throughout history and in the present day. These include things like the fashion trend of carabiners, the meaning behind flags, what jewellery screams queer, and how lavender has become synonymous with queerness.
