10 Mythical Creatures That Are Definitely Queer

As we all know, for too long, the straight community used the term “fairy” in a derogatory fashion. Fuck that. In real-life, fairies are not offended that their world was used in conjunction with queerness, but they are offended that anyone would say so in a homophobic fashion. Fairies enjoy living in flowers and tree branches and anywhere with some nice shade. They are indeed very small and they sweat glitter. Gay marriage has always been legal, and weddings are an elaborate multi-day celebration in which all the creatures of the forest such as deer and bunnies attend.

Leprechauns are small and mischievous little men who guard pots of gold, but the most telling sign of their sexuality (which is often left out) is where they guard their treasure — at the end of the rainbow.

Witches come in all genders, but it is true that the witch community has been especially encouraging of lesbians. Witches throughout history have been risking prosecution to say, “Yeah, it’s totally cool that you aren’t into sex with dudes. Vagina is powerful and beautiful AF.” They’ve also long known the benefit of lube (potions and ointments) and dildos (broomsticks). As the occult world is evolving, the witch community is making an effort to become more gender-inclusive in their literature and coven meetings.

Duh, unicorns are queer. They are the most fabulous (in their opinion) of the mythical creatures although they can be a little bitchy. They have the best parties and they know it. They love orgies and are so much better than humans at ethical non-monogamy. Think of the gayest Sagittarius, but with the wisdom of centuries (unicorns live into their 900s) and the added cockiness of having a magical horn.

Angels are indeed holy creatures, but not in the way Christian homophobes would have you believe. Angels wear beautiful long dresses and have elegant wings and can fly. They live the queer life themselves and are protectors of love. All queer people have a guardian angel.
