Genderqueerness is futuristic at its core, which is why you’ll come across many genderqueer characters in speculative fiction. But translation creates friction: gender identities meant to be ambiguo
Welcome to our tenth annual Queer issue. In first-person narratives rich with intimacy and immediacy, LGBTQ characters explore the search for success in love and work, negotiate complex sexual and social currents, and grapple with passion and obsession.

Grandpa tells the story of how his friend who owned a premium brewery ended his life at a young age after he was victimized by a rival company in a smear campaign that ultimately put him out of business. The tragic fate of his friend motivates him to become a vigilante. Furious over the lack of justice, Grandpa decides to make a special bunny lamp ― adorable, living and cursed ― and gives it to the brewer whose business thrived after the death of his archrival. The bunny lamp self-replicates and every night, the army of bunnies start chewing through the company s documents and soon move on to something much bigger.
