Queer Pride 4 Black Lives
June 28, 2020 • Long Beach, CA

"No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us." -Marsha P. Johnson

Cannot simply define yesterday with words so instead I will leave you with this best attempt at capturing the contagious vigilance, undeniable hope + sheer queer beauty of yesterday's "Queer Pride 4 Black Lives" action in Long Beach, CA. Sharing organizer Queers Obliterating White Supremacy (q.o.w.s)’s perfectly put sentiments below:

“We are stunned by your beauty! We are so strong together. You all created such a powerful action together, an action that unapologetically declares that Black Lives Matter. An action that demands that we fuel our joy and our rest and our care and our sexiness so that we can fuel our fight. An action that honors Black queer and trans folks with us today and the BIPOC, queer, trans sex worker ancestors that connect us all.

THIS IS YOUR LEGACY. THIS IS YOUR LONG BEACH. • We’re just getting started!”
