A Twitter Thread from Melissa See on Black YA novels

This year we need more than ever to remember that Stonewall was a movement lead by black trans women to combat the police brutality seen in queer and other minority communities

Be proud, but never stop being angry. We were given rights because our ancestors gave them riots

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women of colour like Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.Hey! Better yet, reblog this version:
