As we close out Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, we pay tribute to trailblazers who have made significant contributions to history. Did you know that “Gay Pride Day” was originally celebrated on the last Sunday in June? Today, Pride events span the entire month, including parades, picnics, parties, workshops, and more. Here are a few LGBTQ+ and same-gender-loving African Americans whose legacies inspire us: 🟣Marsha P. Johnson: Activist and key figure in the Stonewall Riots, co-founder of STAR. 🟣Moms Mabley: Pioneering comedian in the vaudeville circuit. 🟣James Baldwin: Influential writer and social justice advocate. 🟣Alvin Ailey: Renowned dancer and founder of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. 🟣Audre Lorde: Acclaimed poet and advocate for intersectionality. These individuals' contributions are integral to the larger narrative of African American history and culture. Let's honor their legacies and continue to advocate for equality and justice. #PrideMonth #LGBTQPride #BlackHistory #Intersectionality #CelebrateDiversity
