Happy Pride month! Every year, but especially this year with Black Lives Matter protests across the country, it is important to remember that Stonewall was a series of rebellions to secure rights for LGBTQ+ people of every race. Stonewall was initiated by women like Stormé DeLarverie, a black lesbian who endured police brutality in public, and sparked outcry. Marsha P. Johnson, a black transwoman, and Sylvia Rivera, a Puerto Rican transwoman, are also renowned initiators of the Stonewall rebellion.
Understand that if you are LGBTQIA2S and do not support the rebellion happening across this country right now, you are turning your back on the womxn of color who secured rights you enjoy today. We as citizens of this country are only as free as the most oppressed among us. We are not free until Black Lives Matter as much as white lives, who are not disproportionately ended by police murders. We are not free until disabled black people are no longer brutalized by police. We are not free until black transpeople are not murdered and silently forgotten about. So, while we celebrate LGBTQIA2S pride, we can also hold space for rebelling against white supremacy and anti-blackness. To get active, go to protests, provide snacks and water for protestors if possible; and please call your local representatives to discuss the police's use of excessive force, to ask them about their police budget and how it could be better spent, to ask that they release protestors exercising their rights, and anything else helpful you can think of. We are free when we are all free, and we are strongest together.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, born February 4, 1913, was a civil rights activist most known for refusing to give up her bus seat when confronted by a white bus driver. Parks was also secretary of the Montgomery NAACP, fought for voter's rights, and participated in boycotts. The photo above is a mugshot from when Parks was arrested after refusing to give up her seat in what was already a segregated section designated for black people. Happy birthday, Rosa Parks. ✊🏾 #blackhistoryfacts

James Mercer Langston Hughes was a poet/playwright/novelist/activist. Born February 1, 1902, Hughes grew up in Midwestern towns that helped shape his view of race relations. Posthumously, analysis of his work shows Langston wrote about sexuality quite a bit. Juncture kicks off Black History Month celebrating Langston Hughes!
