This editorial opens the autumn issue of têtu·, available at your newsstands, for online purchase or delivered to your home by subscription.
From the WorldPride in Amsterdam’s slogan, “Unity,” to the “Solidarity” chosen for the Paris Pride march postponed to October 3, Pride 2026 invites us to stand together. Last year already, Inter-LGBT reframed Marx and Engels: “Queers of all countries, unite.” Our era reminds us of an obvious truth: in the face of those who attack our rights, we need one another.
On the cover of the previous issue, we had chosen another word to say it: “adelphes.” Several of you told us you had discovered it on that occasion. A sufficient reason to return to it, as this term tells better than any other what binds us. It is not incidental that it opens this issue which brings, from Quebec to Belgium via France, queer voices united by a common language, with its accents, its nuances and its inventions.
What, exactly, does this bond mean? To think the same thing? To defend the same strategies, the same priorities, the same alliances? Or is there between us something that precedes our disagreements?
