As they envision the future of their recently established publishing company, Bare Bones Press & Productions, Twig Deluje' and Erin Malus embrace the term "queer" and the gender and sexual fluidity it entails. They want to focus on the stories that don't easily fit into gay or lesbian categories, the ones that fall along the merging range of sexuality and gender, such as transgender, gender queer and intersex.

"Queer representation on a broader spectrum is so necessary," says Deluje'.

"We're interested especially in showing kids that not feeling comfortable in a particular gender, that's okay, and that you don't particularly need to be another gender," says Malus.
