Y'all have to include the T.

Pride Month Reading 📚: mailchi.mp/0ff7fd5c5145...

Stonewall was part of a broader movement that began with trans BIPOC street-based sex workers. Queer liberation is tied to anti-racism(s) is tied to sex workers rights. Remember that as you celebrate Pride.

Today is the beginning of Pride. It’s a celebration of being who you are out loud. LGBTQIA+ people are losing rights and being criminalized. Let’s not forget what we’re fighting for this month and who we’re fighting for. #EveryoneTakesCareofEveryone #RememberStonewall #MarthaPJohnson #SylviaRivera
