Happy Pride Season y’all! 🌈

I think a lot about our q***r and trans elders / ancestors and It feels impossible to celebrate the season without the recognition of all who have walked a very difficult road for us to be where we are today 🏳️‍⚧️

Our community has a very rich & intense history despite attempts at erasure over the years. The first ever Pride being a riot led by trans women of color who faced brutal consequences for who they were. Flashing forward into the AIDS epidemic and how we lost millions of q***rs who would have been our wise elders today.

The system has failed us time and time again yet resilience is the backbone of our community and the glue that holds us together.

To imagine we live in a time where many of us have access to gender affirming care, gender x option on passports and Pride celebrations all over the world, feels like we have come a long way.

Yet there is still a lot of work to be done before our community at large has the protections we deserve in every state and country across the globe.

Without pausing to reflect on where we came from we wouldn’t have the momentum to go forward. Here’s to everyone who paved the path to now and to the future generations who will undoubtedly be taking over the world with a very, very q***r agenda💜🦄🦋
