In Celebration of Pride Month: LGBT Moments To Remember

[divider type=”space_thin”] It’s National LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, y’all! This is the time of year where many of us gather to commemorate the Stonewall riots of 1969 which were led by some of the fiercest trans-women of color on Earth! While many of us take this time to celebrate individuality at it’s finest by draping ourselves in glitter, marching & chanting for our continued war against discrimination, we started this month with a national tragedy. In the midst of our celebrations, we mourn the loss of our LGBTQIA+ family in Orlando, Florida. Our hearts and minds are with the victims of Orlando, their loved ones and our nation. In the spirit of Pride, we decided to take time to celebrate and uplift one another in the nerdiest way possible – by paying tribute to some of the queerest Black moments of 2016! We know that #representationmatters and when you’re a queer person of color, you hold those positive moments close and cherish them like one of Mama Ru’s custom lace fronts. In her most famous words, “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Can we get an “Amen?” Celebrate. Honor. Slay. Happy Pride! -Izetta
