Antiblackness in the lgbtqia+ community
Anti-Blackness doesn't disappear because we're queer.
Experiencing one form of oppression does not automatically prevent us from participating in another.
Silence is not neutral. Neither is continued collaboration with people whose anti-Blackness is obvious and unaddressed.
A question worth sitting with:
What do I believe I'll lose if I speak up?
Community? Friendship? Access? Status? Comfort?
Because Black queer and trans people are already losing safety, belonging, opportunity, and support in spaces that claim to be inclusive.
Deconstruction isn't just about what we say we believe. It's about what we're willing to risk to live those values.
