Warrington Pride Zine 2025

During Warrington Pride 2025, Queer Coffee hosted a zine making workshop at the University of Chester's University Centre Warrington. Attendees were asked to make zines exploring the spectrum of queer experiences in Warrington.

We present the zines created with permission from the creators.

1: "Growing up confused about my sexuality, and not fitting in, was rough - I hated school, the kids were brutal."
Sad person with green and pink hair wearing black clothes being mocked by a crowd saying things like: Gay, Freak, Weirdo, Lesbo, Mosher and Gross.
2: "I lost my way as a teen - drank, smoked, messed around - anything to make things better, but, it didn't work."
Person is sitting on a bed, crying next to alcohol and cigarettes.
3: "Then I had you, and everything changed. All the hate and fear turned to pure love."
Blond person in bed with a newborn baby, both look content and there are love hearts.
4: "Now I love who I am. I love my family. I love that I am loved, and they are loved. I love raising them to feel safe, secure and accepted for who they are.
I will raise them with all the love I can give. We are a happy, loving family. Queer, straight, it doesn't matter. Family is family. Love is love."
Happy family, including an adult with black and green hair with a pansexual flag pin, an adult with short brown hair and glasses holding a baby,
a teen with long brown hair, dip-dyed with pink and blue, and a child with long blond hair.
