In a world that tries to erase us, we rewrite the narrative. Black LGBTQ+/SGL lives are essential. ✊🏾
When laws are signed to erase us, our existence becomes an act of defiance.
We KNOW that Black LGBTQ+/SGL people have always existed—and always will.
We KNOW that our identities are valid, and our lives are powerful.
We KNOW that no executive order will silence our voices or diminish our love.
Our love is resistance. Our existence is revolutionary. Black LGBTQ+/SGL people will always rise—bold, beautiful, and unbreakable.
Trump’s latest executive order erases the 'X' gender marker from passports, limiting recognition to male and female. This erases intersex identities and fuels discrimination. How do you feel about this attack on our community? ✊🏽 #ProtectIntersexRights #BeyondTheBinary
With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,
NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone
I don't know
Fuck off
Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory
Be an ally
It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.
Now more than ever, #protectthebabies. 🏳️⚧️💜

“I do not think that God approves the death penalty for any crime. Capital punishment is against the better judgment of modern criminology, and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay
We deserve to live, love, and be ourselves—no apologies. Black LGBTQ+ lives matter, and we won’t let anyone forget it. How are you celebrating your self today? 🖤🌈
