US EditionQueer and trans homesteaders are conquering the social media frontier
- River Evergreen and Juniper Evergreen, a couple living in Washington state, are planning an edible food forest, an A-frame cabin, and a micro-orchard, hoping to marry in the micro-orchard when the trees bloom and envisioning their homestead as a safe space for LGBTQ Washingtonians.
- TakeGrey and Grayson Prnce, who have been homesteading in New York's Catskills Mountains for two years, source their water from a local spring, churn their own butter, and limit their electricity usage, driven by a desire for sustainable living and community.
- Colt, also known as Rowdy Ruby, a homesteading drag queen with over 400,000 followers, is starting to lay the foundation for a tiny home on 8 acres of land next to a lake in northwest Georgia, using an auger to drill holes in the tough red clay.
- Rowdy Ruby's homesteading videos offer a breath of fresh air, rejecting religious values often associated with homesteading and demonstrating queer audacity, while some individuals don't believe the couple belongs among viral homesteaders and have subjected them to hateful comments on TikTok.
- Contemporary homesteading, while rooted in the 1862 Homestead Act and often associated with conservative values of independence and self-sufficiency, is being embraced by queer and transgender individuals who seek community, a slower pace of life, and a way to provide for themselves, with many reinstating Indigenous practices.
