I fell out of love with a place that I once though

I fell out of love with a place that I once thought was a safe space a long time ago, when I realized the man behind the curtain was no wizard at all. I had the wherewithal to leave.

But as the days went on, as the weeks continued, and I saw all the amazing people that I had met, that I had had the opportunity to get to know sitting in that fog filled hallway... when I thought about the stories of their lives they had told me--their stories being interrupted every few seconds by a new arrival as they sat there patiently and eager to lend me even a couple minutes away from the isolation of that hallway--and I saw them posting their pictures, smiling in the club, laughing in the photobooth, I longed for the opportunity to reunite with the family I had formed.
So I went back.

Because the thing about that place was never about the men at the forefront, despite the manipulative techniques to get you to believe that they were the most important aspect. The thing about that place was the congregation of so many misfit puzzle pieces smashing into one another in the most beautiful way creating such a masterpiece of love, acceptance, and magic. In you all, I have found a home that will never be confined to the small spaces of a building because you live with me, in my heart and embedded in my soul.

But what happens in the shadows always comes to light and I'm sickened to see the full illuminated story that the safe space was a place of danger.

As we shed this induced dependency and no longer have to seek good favor from the men behind the curtain, as we set off to take our home to a new edifice I hope this experience and everyone's storytelling supplies edification. I hope we all realize how to sufficiently create a true safe space for our black friends and family, i hope we sufficiently create a true safe space for women, i hope we sufficiently create a true safe space for our trans family, i hope we sufficiently create a true safe space for sexual assualt survivors. I hope we sufficiently create a TRUE SAFE SPACE.

Amazing words from @holidayphillips “More and more people are awakening to the realities of racism and feeling inspired to become allies in the quest for racial justice. We are no doubt in a great awakening, and I am filled with hope and motivation to continue showing up and playing my part as an educator in the most honest and helpful ways I can. So this week I've created a guide of common things I'm seeing in the name of allyship that aren't, in my eyes, actually helpful and some suggestions on what you can do instead. ⁠
.⁠
As with everything I offer, this guide is not intended to blame or shame, if you recognise some of the behaviours in yourself. But a way to check yourself and navigate your allyship in a way that is most useful for black, indigenous and people of colour. We are all learning and the marker of our humanity is not how perfect we are, but how willing we are to see where we can be better and do the work 🌱🖤

Language note: BIPOC = Black, Indigenous and People of Colour⁠

✨SHARING: if this is useful to you, please feel free to share! ✨”

Ways you can support queer Black people during pri

Ways you can support queer Black people during pride month and every month.
⠀
1. Donate. If you can afford to–set up recurring monthly donations. Small, monthly payments add up over time!
⠀
2. Buy from queer Black owned businesses.
⠀
3. Support queer Black leadership. Encourage workplaces, schools, art spaces to elevate Black folks to leadership positions.
⠀
4. Do the work. Educate yourself and learn from Black queers. Actively spend a set amount of time each day/week/month doing the work.
⠀
