#black lgbt
My blog is supposed to be solely for lesbian/LGBT content, but having the platform that I do, this is too important to not post about. As a non-black lesbian, I must speak up against the injustices faced by the black community, and I urge my followers to do the same. The LGBT community owes so much to black gays and lesbians both historically and today. Please consider donating to any of these organizations shown in the picture. I will provide the links for them below.

Both NBPOC (non-black people of colour) and white people have the responsibility to combat anti-blackness in our communities. As an Asian lesbian, it is my responsibility to combat anti-black racism in the Asian and LGBT communities. I again urge my followers, if you have not already, start supporting black lives and uplifting black voices today.
I’m looking for writers on behalf of Mental Realness Mag for its next print issue. Only looking for submissions from black queer, nonbinary, and/or trans folks. Each accepted submission is paid!

Mental Realness Mag is a digital publication specifically for black femmes (of any gender identity) navigating mental health. We feature photography, poetry, prose, articles, etc. We’ve just recently published our fourth issue, and I would love if you guys could check it out.

Hi! I was debating myself over whether or not I should do this, but I’m in a really bad financial position right now and I really need some help.
I’m a black lesbian who just graduated college, and I’m having a really hard time finding a job because of COVID-19. To make matters worse, I live in a really isolated area of my country (the Amazon Rainforest region) and I still can’t move out right now because of how hectic things still are.
I really need some help paying for my groceries and bills this month. Brazilian currency is really devalued right now, so literally, even a couple of bucks would help A LOT. I believe 50 USD would probably be enough to cover most of my expenses for the month.
Cashapp isn’t available in my country, but here’s my ko-fi:
Thank you so much to everyone that decides to share this post/donate me anything.

MARSHA P. JOHNSON
LAST WEEK OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Day 7 of 7 Black activists to celebrate
MARSHA P. JOHNSON:
Marsha, born and known as Malcolm Michaels Jr., was an black gay liberation activist and self-identified drag queen.
After graduating high school, Johnson enrolled in the U.S. Navy, but realized that wasn’t the place for them.
On a trial of self discovery Marsha found themselves turn to prostitution to survive and soon found a harmonius community within the nightlife of the village.
Throughout their discovery they was referred to as Malcolm, and Black Marsha before settling on Marsha P. Johnson; The “P” stands for “Pay It No Mind.” this was their response to people asking about what they identified as.
Johnson quickly became a prominent figure in the LGBTQ community.
They served as a “drag mother” helping homeless and struggling LGBTQ youth.
During 1969 at the Stonewall inn the police raided the bar with violence.
Many people have said that Marsha was one of the people who stood up to them.
Following the events of Stonewall, Johnson and their friend, Sylvia Rivera, co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), and with this they became fixtures in the community.
STAR provided services including shelter to homeless LGBTQ people.
Unfortunaely on July 6, 1992 Johnson’s body was found in the Hudson River. The police named the incident suicide and closed the case, but 25 years later Victoria Cruz has reopened the case.
Marsha lived a life dedicated to helping others and it is certainly not forgotten.
THANK YOU MARSHA P. JOHNSON
