In June we celebrate LGBT Pride. This month I live and march for those who have died and been victims of violence from homophobia, transphobia, and the racism that is intrinsically tied to both of those things.

Do not separate racism from homophobia and transphobia. Do not pretend these things are mutually exclusive. And for fuck’s sake do not start putting blame on LGBT people of color who have been brutalized for so long for “dividing the community” that has already been divided and complicit in the deaths of LGBT folks of color. Do fucking better.

RIP to all the fallen victims of the Pulse Orlando shooting. It’s going to be a year soon. As a bisexual Latina, this attack will live in me forever, it will remind me of the different ways people can hate me and want me dead, and it will continue to remind me that those who fell deserve to be remembered. I live on with all 49 beautiful souls in my memory everyday.
