Voices of Pride creates space for queer voices that refuse restriction, dilution, or apology. Through writing, art, and lived experience, LGBTIA* creators reclaim visibility, challenge inherited norms, and speak to the realities of identity, resistance, intimacy, and belonging.

boyjob

we are kissing standing up

you kneel in front of me

to give me a blow job

your mouth sucking the two fingers

i hold in front of my crotch

makes me feel like a boy

still

i don’t know if I want that dick

but as you swallow me

uncertainty melts into horniness

keep going

keep going

keep going

because maybe

you can fuck me into boyishness

your hands

your mouth

your eyes

can

eat me

undo me

I want to be your boy

no apology

I feel your fingers

inside me

You add another one and ask

“is that ok?”

“yes,” i say

but what i mean is:

fill me unapologetically

until i forget myself

and become lake

can you feel it?

touching your flat boyish chest

I wonder if you can feel it too:

how pain hides

inside the folds of our orgasms –

the kind that comes

from trusting someone

with your insides

About the Author

Sappho Ton Bogataj is a non-binary transmasc Berlin-based choreographer, dancer, performer and secret writer working with bodies as relational systems shaped by dependency, pressure, and transformation. Their choreographic work focuses on situations in which bodies support, negotiate, or fail each other.

Earlier works engaged with masculinities and collective formats, exploring intimacy, care, and desire through choreographic dispositifs such as the “softboyband” (SPILL, 2023). More recent work shifts towards a material and structural approach, where load, fatigue, and fragmentation become central compositional principles (Fatigue of the Iron, ongoing).

Their pieces have been supported by BKM and Fonds Darstellende Künste and presented at Kampnagel, Lichthof Theater Hamburg, Uferstudios Berlin and MAI Montreal. Bogataj has collaborated with artists including Ana Laura Lozza, Barbara Hang, Christopher Ramm, Marco Merenda, Claire Lefèvre, and Yolanda Morales.

They hold an M.A. in Performance Studies from the University of Hamburg and have trained at Dance Intensive Berlin. They are currently studying dance and choreography at HZT Berlin.
