BTW ICE is raping children in custody in texas then deporting the newborns after they're born. These children are not pregnant before entering ICE detention.
Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
protect the t-boys
protect the dolls
protect the enbies
protect them all
now more than ever is it time to vocally and loudly and publicly support the transgender community and fight for their livelihoods and their rights. i’m radically pro-transgender and I hope you all are, too
