Black history isn’t just about one struggle—it’s about the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. From Bayard Rustin to Marsha P. Johnson, Black LGBTQ+/SGL people have always been at the heart of the fight for justice. 🎥 Learn more about why intersectionality matters. #BlackHistoryIsQueerAF

In a world that tries to erase us, we rewrite the narrative. Black LGBTQ+/SGL lives are essential. ✊🏾

When laws are signed to erase us, our existence becomes an act of defiance.

We KNOW that Black LGBTQ+/SGL people have always existed—and always will.
We KNOW that our identities are valid, and our lives are powerful.
We KNOW that no executive order will silence our voices or diminish our love.

NBJC On The Move @nbjc.bsky.social · Jan 24

Our love is resistance. Our existence is revolutionary. Black LGBTQ+/SGL people will always rise—bold, beautiful, and unbreakable.

Trump’s latest executive order erases the 'X' gender marker from passports, limiting recognition to male and female. This erases intersex identities and fuels discrimination. How do you feel about this attack on our community? ✊🏽 #ProtectIntersexRights #BeyondTheBinary

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,

NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone
I don't know
Fuck off

Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory

Be an ally

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

We’re seeing the effects of division, lies, hate, and greed every day. None of us are free until we’re all free.

Everyone deserves to live authentically and free from oppression—this is the fight our ancestors fought for. Now, more than ever, let’s stand together for true freedom. #letsgetfree
