Right now in the world there is so much justified anger, born from inexcusable prejudice. It’s a fitting time to celebrate Pride because that was an event born of the Stonewall Riots. Not the Stonewall Peaceful Protests, the Stonewall RIOTS! Started when a black trans HIV+ woman (Marsha P. Johnson) could no longer turn the other cheek, could no longer look the other way, could no longer stay silent as injustice continued. As the world did not make things better on its own, when left to its own devices. RIOT is not a dirty word. RIOT is the uncontrollable expression of centuries of oppression breaking free. Celebrate Pride. Celebrate #blacklivesmatter. Celebrate every voice that is saying ENOUGH!
