Throughout today we will be airing the full 4-part series When We Rise until our special airing of MTV’s “True Life: We Are Orlando” at 10/9c.

Today we honor those we lost one year ago today at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, and we honor our LGBTQ community that will remain strong and continue to fight for a better tomorrow. 

Love conquers hate. 💔💛💚💙💜

“BLACK LESBIAN FEMINIST,” Gwenn Craig (@gwenndolina), Lesbian & Gay Caucus member, 1980 Democratic National Convention, New York City, August 1980. Photo by Allen G. Shores, c/o @onearchives. . Gwenn Craig is a San Francisco-based activist who has been instrumental in the fights for Black, queer, and women's liberation for decades. . Among many other things, Gwenn was part of the core group of activists—along with Harvey Milk, Sally Miller Gearhart, Bill Kraus, Tom Ammiano, and Hank Wilson—that led the fight against the 1978 Briggs Initiative in California, which effectively would have banned gays and lesbians—and perhaps anyone who supported gay rights—from working in public schools. . Gwenn also was one of the revolutionary group of openly gay or lesbian delegates to the 1980 Democratic National Convention, most of whom participated as part of the late, great Jeanne Cordova’s DESTINATION: NEW YORK program. . Gwenn Craig is among the trailblazing queer activists featured in Dustin Lance Black’s (@dlanceblack) “When We Rise” (@whenweriseabc), which starts tomorrow, February 27, at 9 P.M., on ABC. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #GwennCraig #WhenWeRise #Resist (at Madison Square Garden)

Everyone should start watching when we rise which premiered a few days ago. It's important but also beautiful and you will cry if you're a human being.

Some of the transgender performers in Dustin Lance Black’s groundbreaking miniseries When We Rise, based on the Cleve Jones memoir:

TOP: Ivory Aquino (Cecilia Chung); Jazzmun (Rev. Bobbi Jean Baker) BOTTOM: Alexandra Grey (Seville); Clair Joy Farley (“Protester” per IMDb)

The miniseries airs weeknights this week on ABC-TV (except for Tuesday, when there’s a speech by some chancellor to some legislative body called the United States Congress). More promo stuff coming up. And incidentally, check to see if your local LGBTQ centre will have a viewing party for the show. Maybe you can drag in your local Republican legislator and force them to watch? Via BoxOfficeBuz.com, WayanBros Wiki, BlackGirlDangerous, Linkedin ==== @smartassjen

I already love it! So much!

When We Rise is beautiful and touching my heart, wish my other family members would actually join me... and understand... they might not now but maybe one day they will.
