Description

The term ‘fruity’ has a history of being a derogatory term used to describe gay men or people with mental illness. The term has since been reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community and is used in a positive light. I proudly use this term to describe myself, and made this block print as a way for queer people to indicate their identity and find community in a subtle way.
