Have you noticed how the intersection of your own sexuality, gender, and race identities structure the way in which you move through the world and the way you are treated by others?

[CEF: Community Empowerment Fund @communityef]

[CEF: Community Empowerment Fund @communityef]

For example, have you noticed queer white people being treated differently in the media than queer people of color? Have you noticed organizations for queer rights continually hand leadership to white queer people while ignoring the voices of queer people of color?
