Paramjit Singh is going blind while in ICE detention in Kenton County Jail, KY. He’s been a green card holder since 1994.

DHS wants to deport him for a forgery conviction — but they’ve produced no record that one exists.

15+ trans youth.
10+ stories.
One collective vision of futures worth fighting for.
Queer Kentucky Magazine isn’t just stories — it’s proof that trans youth are here, leading, creating, and demanding a world that sees them.

Death Before Detransition: Queer Kentucky's Trans Youth Issue - Queer Kentucky

This issue isn’t about policy debates — it’s testimony, resistance, and survival. Kentucky’s trans youth wrote and designed this magazine themselves, speaking directly to their peers and communities. “Protect. Trans. Youth.”
