I have a confession to make. As much as I wail about the societal injustices that have been mandated to brutalize Black and Brown people with systematic authority — I’ve woefully failed to highlight the epidemic that is currently crippling the LQBTQ community.
It’s definitely not out of nonchalance, but mostly attributed to the inadequacy of not being able to efficiently or adequately convey the pending items that are exacting fear and death, on those who are considered readily expendable.
You don’t have to do much digging to stumble upon the damning evidence of how Black members of the LGBTQ community are the most vulnerable to the rising incidences of hate crimes.
For me, it’s always fascinating to witness the flush of hate that flashes through the halo of so-called Christians, who are weighed down by their own personal hang ups, that make it impossible to shower off the fairy dust that supposedly makes them “holier than thou.”
What gives anyone the right to righteously condemn what they prefer to demonize without a clue as to why “those people” deserve to be prosecuted for wanting the exact same things we were born to demand.
We all want to be loved but above all else, we want to feel comfortable within ourselves in ways that link body and spirit…
