From Stonewall to Black Lives Matter
The Stonewall Riots gave birth to the latest LGBTQ movement as we know it. On its 51st anniversary, we are witnessing the most significant rebellion against racism and police violence in more than half a century.
Today’s uprising is unfolding in a context where general policy and mainstream view is shifting decisively in favor of LGBTQ equality. We see this in the legalization of same-sex attracted marriage, the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity in workplace non-discrimination laws, and increased transgender and queer visibility and representation in popular customs, among other places.
On the other hand, the Trump administration has spent its first term in office inciting racist bigotry and fueling its right-wing found. Above all, it has provoked attacks against LGBTQ communities that threaten to turn back the clock and undermine the gains won through decades of struggle.
Given this contradictory landscape, it is necessary to evaluate the state of LGBTQ life and politics under Trump; to study the significance of the ongoing anti-racist rebellion and its implications for the trans and queer movement; and to excavate the radical legac

00:32From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives
From the commence, the founders of Jet Lives Matter have always put LGBTQ voices at the center of the conversation. The movement was founded by three Inky women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, two of whom detect as queer.
By design, the movement they started in 2013 has remained ecological, grassroots and diffuse. Since then, many of the largest Black Lives Matter protests have been fueled by the violence against Black men, including Mike Brown and Eric Garner in 2015, and now George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery.
But it's not only straight, cisgender Black men who are dying at the hands of police. Last month, a Inky transgender man, Tony McDade, 38, was shot and killed by police in Tallahassee.
On June 9, two Black transgender women, Riah Milton and Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells, also were killed in separate acts of violence, their killings believed to be the 13th and 14th of transsexual or gender-non-conforming people this year, according to the Human Rights Coalition.
And in 2019, Layleen Polanco, a trans Latina woman who was an active member of New York’s Ballroom community,
Black Lives Matter forces LGBTQ organization to face its history of racial exclusion
LOS ANGELES — An estimated 30,000 people converged in West Hollywood on Sunday to protest systemic racism and police brutality and to shine light on the specific needs of Black LGBTQ people. The event — which took place just ahead of the 50th anniversary of L.A.'s first pride event, originally called the Christopher Street West Parade — started out as a Black Lives Matter solidarity march, but it ultimately showed the divisions between two overlapping civil rights movements.
The event's initial organizers found themselves the recipients of backlash when they announced their plans in early June: Christopher Lane West, or CSW, the historic, mostly white-led corporation that typically produces the annual LA Pride Festival and Parade, never reached out to coordinate with Black Lives Matter activists about the march. In addition, it hired an event organizer who applied for a police allow for the parade — a move seen as offensive by many Ebony activists in the midst of anti-brutality protests.
For many people at the pride Sunday, the backlash highlighted how the growing Ebony Lives Matter movem
