Black women on why queer acceptance is so important: R29xMBIB ad
It's true: While LGBTQIA visibility is increasing, discrimination and inequality continue to make it difficult to exist as a queer person, no matter where you are in the world. That's why the women of R29 Unbothered sat down to address homophobia in the Black community and what role they can play, as Black women, in dismantling prejudice against queer people of color. Baker reminds us of why we shouldn't use proximity to queer culture as a reason to excuse homophobia.
Black trans activist and plus-size model Jari Jones also jumps in with some serious wisdom:"If we continue to create these spaces where we can have conversation, where we can talk, where we can understand together, where we can cry together, where we can get mad at each other, and really let that be for us, I think we can definitely get somewhere."
Listen to the women of Unbothered discuss what it looks like to confront homophobia and champion queer inclusivity below.
