Now more than ever, we must honor that our LGBTQ+ black community have always been here and are often targets of discrimination and violence at the hands of police and others-- first for being Black and second for their sexual and gender identities.

June is Pride month and this year, especially, we at UBU would like to highlight prominent figures within LGBTQ+ community that paved the way for the modern LGBTQ+ movement.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
