I would add that being black AND gay is an insurmountable reality for millions of people. When a white gay man or woman is pulled over for a traffic violation, at least they don't have to worry so much about being jailed and/or killed by cops BECAUSE they're gay, not YET anyway..... but that could change.
I almost added this and decided not to because the post was already so long. I am glad you brought this up because it is so true......and when you look at what's happening in Florida right now with laws being enacted that hurt both gays and blacks.....it hurts to be one or the other...but, to be both - ouch!
I really love the way you break things down Krysta. You always open my eyes. Thank you.
Thanks and I hope you're having a great birthday!
