This month marks a holiday near and dear to my heart - Black History Month. Enjoy this video from the Human Rights Campaign.
And in the coming days, I will be posting more videos of noted lgbts of color who have made their mark throughout history, as well as a Black History Month quiz.

tell this to all the people (like Harry Jackson) that lash out at those who call for Queer Equality, saying "how dare you compare the struggle for African American Equality the same as what you do."
ReplyDeleteI think that while Black gays may feel some of the greatest pressure and burden in society, they may in fact wield the greatest power - because, should they choose this path, they can come out of the closet and be a great living example in their own community.
