MiggyRox discusses the Pulse Tragedy in Orlando and the erasure of Queer Latinx people.
“To the media, how dare you not acknowledge that this was our community that was taken away from us. How dare you only show white people talking about this tragedy.”
“I’m pissed that LGBT people of color are being erased and not being able to tell their own fucking stories”
“This is the same kind of terrorism that makes us have to yell out that we fucking matter.”
“Take up all the goddamn space you fucking need. If you go somewhere that someone is speaking and they do not represent our community, shut them down, because we are not going to be silent. Not in this moment. Not when we are the ones that should be speaking up.”
“To the white allies out there, the true allies, the ones that know what it’s like to be an ally, the ones who step back and let us take up this space: thank you. We need more of you.”
