As we Travel Through 2025 we need to realize how lucky we really are to survive the first half of the 2020’s- Even though there is much more to still come.We also need to protect and preserve everyone's Human Rights and that includes the right to marry whomever we please, Regardless of Gender Identity.All over the world The Queer and Trans Communities are often gatekept from many rights, from the Right to hold down a job, the Right to live without fear of being attacked, and the Right to Marry.Around the world many countries still refuse to acknowledge Same Sex Marriage, going as far as to imprison and/or in extreme cases execute people simply for being Gay or Trans at all.According to Human Rights Campaign and the FBI, there was an Increase of Anti LGBTQ Hate Crimes by 23% and in the case of Hate Crimes against the Trans Community have also gone up by 16% Just in 2024 alone And with the recent attacks on Queer and Trans Rights around the world by many Far Right Extremists in many State and National Governments, and the incoming US Administrations threats toward Marriage Equality and Civil Rights outlined by their plans in Project 2025, 2025 is looking bleaker than ever.However as we experience Setback After Setback.

Greece and Estonia have also followed suit and Legalized Same Sex Marriage.In fact as of February 1st 2025, 38 countries have legalized and recognize Same Sex Marriages, While that Number is admirable Everyone Everywhere should be able to marry legally and freely without the threat of violence or being arrested.Which is why we make this Fanzine.Tying The Knot is a for Charity Fanzine showing off Multiple Fandoms with Queer Characters and Couples, Canon or Fanon, In Art or Writing, in the following motions of MarriageProposalPlanning the WeddingSuit/Dress FittingBachelor/Bachelorette PartyWalking Down The AisleWedding VowsThe First KissWedding ReceptionWedding NightHoneymoonEveryone should Experience these moments.
