“The pandemic has highlighted the disparities in access to healthcare that Black people have always faced. Trans people, in particular, face discrimination when it comes to accessing care and have relied on clinics and community centers many of which closed during the lockdowns. Many Black trans people are dealing with housing insecurity and employment discrimination that increase opportunities to be exposed to coronavirus while limiting the ability to pay for what care they are able to access.
“I’d like to see Pride celebrations be blacker and browner and femme-ier than ever before. Uplifting all body types, all abilities and all identities.”“I want the future of Pride to look more like the people who created it. I want us to take joy in celebration AND in resistance. I want to see rainbows painted on the ashes of the system that consistently tries to murder and silence Black trans people. No more rainbow capitalism.
