Hillary and Bill Clinton enslaved incarcerated Black folks at the Governor’s mansion.
One unusual aspect of living in the Arkansas governor's mansion was getting to know prison inmates who were assigned to work in the house and the yard. When we moved in, I was told that using prison labor at the governor's mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs, and I was assured that the inmates were carefully screened. I was also told that onetime murderers were by far the preferred security risks. The crimes of the convicted murderers who worked at the governor's mansion usually involved a disagreement with someone they knew, often another young man in their neighborhood, or they had been with companions who had killed someone in the course of committing another crime. I had defended several clients in criminal cases, but visiting them in jail or sitting next to them in court was not the same as encountering a convicted murderer in the kitchen every morning. I was apprehensive, but I agreed to abide by tradition until I had a chance to see for myself how the inmates behaved around me and my family. I saw and learned a lot as I got to know them better. We enforced rules strictly and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule. I discovered, as I had been told I would, that we had far fewer disciplinary problems with inmates who were in for murder than with those who had committed property crimes. In fact, over the years we lived there, we became friendly with a few of them, African-American men in their thirties who had already served twelve to eighteen years of their sentences.

This LGBTQIA+ History Month, let’s not forget that the fight for Queer Liberation has historically been led by Trans women of color Sex Workers like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.

Bi folks were never “overrepresented” in media, despite what a lot of y’all like to say. We need more Bi characters, not less.
A graph showing that representation in media goes from most to least: mono Gay men, mono Lesbians, Bi women, Bi men.

“Bi Lesbians are a large and irremovable part of the Lesbian community, even if many Lesbians treat them with insults, ignorance, stereotyping, exclusion, rejection, invalidation, and silence”

- Bi Women Quarterly, 1983.

Yesterday was Xenogender Visibility Day 💞

Xenogenders are never going away & y’all who hate them because you “don’t understand them” are no better than anti-trans bigots who say the same about binary trans folks.

You don’t have to understand someone’s identity to support and accept it.
Image of the Xenogender flag which has red, light orange, slightly darker orange, yellow, blue, light purple, and slightly darker purple going up to down in the form of horizontal stripes. It also contains a white-colored rainbow emblem with a star in the middle, on the middle of the flag.

This Black History Month let's not forget to celebrate Black Queer folks like Marsha P. Johnson. Marsha was a Black Trans woman who advocated for the rights of Queer folks, HIV+ folks, and Sex Workers.

Marsha herself was also Disabled, HIV+, and a Sex Worker. #BlackHistoryMonth
