Focusing on themes of community, dichotomy-expansion, language-use, and identity formation on individual- and collective-levels, Jojo Katsbulas prides themselves on their loyalty to the alternative. Where structures and rules restrict, they always ask why.

I emphasize the importance of thought-development, discussion, and if not agreement, understanding. Let us ask ourselves what elements of our lives are Queer By Extension.
