The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women like Miss Major and other people of colour paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.

remember when taylor won woman of the year and did a really long like 10 minute speach where she called herself the “resident loud person” for talking about her big issue at the time… yeah really could use that energy rn

i think one reason i’m so disappointed that taylor hasn’t spoken up is because she is known for being loud when something has affected HER. she said it herself, she’s the “resident loud person.” but typically only when it has to do with her. when scooter braun purchased her discography, she stopped at nothing to be heard. obviously i agree he’s in the wrong and i believe in what she’s fighting for, but why can’t she fight for others the same way? when the same exact thing happened to megan thee stallion, taylor stayed silent. taylor only started speaking out about politics when marsha blackburn threatened women’s rights, something that affects taylor. again, i’m glad she spoke out about that but why can’t she do more to speak out now? i don’t understand why she made an entire documentary about how she’ll stop at nothing for justice, but until everyone else was saying it on Tuesday, she couldn’t even say Black Lives Matter. then she just posted a black square and a generic link for resources. i’ve looked up to taylor for almost 10 years now and it’s so disappointing to see her stay quiet right now. also, i KNOW she tweeted trump but that just isn’t enough at this point. i love taylor so much and that’s why i so desperately want her to LOUDLY speak out in direct support of the BLM movement, publicly donate money, spread lots of resources, and be the best ally she can, 24/7. and i hope a lot of you feel the same way

if taylor can show up to wango tango last year in a rainbow getup, write an open letter to the white house regarding the equality act for lgbtq+ rights, make an entire music video where she parades around with her lgbtq+ friends and dyes her hair the bi colors, and stand up on the vma stage and call out the president about the equality act....... ..... ..................... she can support her poc fans too

#where is she #why is she being quiet at a time like this?

also i’m pretty much done talking about Taylor. i’ve tried to rationalize her actions in my head and either something happened at home or she’s just quiet to be quiet. i don’t know. i’m not her. i’m tired of doing mental gymnastics over it because we’ll never know her reasoning behind the silence until she tells us. and no i was never trying to “drag” her. i’m simply a black fan who’s hurt and confused and wondering where that voice is that she said she’ll be using from now on.

❝And so this month and every month I want to send my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify. And this is a month where I think we need to celebrate how far we’ve come, but I think we also need to acknowledge how far we still have left to go.❞

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 2020 🌈⭐️

this pride month, please please please do not let the black lives matter movement go ignored. the lgbtq movement owes so much to black members of our community. we are not free until all of us are.

what is happening now is change in action. if you care about activism, and you should, you know that blm deserves to be seen, their voices to be heard.

pride matters, and we should still celebrate, still fight, still demand our place in the world. but black and indigenous people need our support right now. cops are not our friends. oppression is never okay. privilege is never comfortable. if you are white or non-black, refuse to let support for blm die down.

this pride, let’s fight for each other. demand spaces for lgbtq people of colour. let their voices be heard. listen.

you can help.
