Khookha McQueer (Arabic: خوخة مكوير; born 17 March 1987)[1] is a Tunisian, LGBT+ and feminist activist and artist.
[6] The artist also aims to show the challenges the Tunisian LGBT community face in a normative heterosexual and homophobic society.

[6] In collaboration with Damj and Avocats Sans Frontières organisations, Khookha participated in the creation of the first terminology guide on gender adapted to the Tunisian context.
It gathers a large number of terms related to sexual orientation, identity and behavior, in the Tunisian dialect and in standard Arabic, including the different interpretations of each word in the local culture and context.
