We celebrate our Black LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈family in this installment of “Black is Eternal.” We love y’all!

We’re celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth! Everyday, we’re highlighting literary pieces written by iconic Black writers.

#BlackIsEternal is proudly sponsored by @historygroomingco.

Today’s piece: “The Gospel According to Miss Roj (The Colored Museum)” (1987) by #GeorgeCWolfe. Performed by @supa_xtra. [🚨EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]

The strength it takes to be Black AND identify as LGBTQ+ is something that many straight cisgender people cannot comprehend. Unfortunately, that lack of understanding or acceptance turns into hate and many times leads to hate crimes or self-harm— or worse: murder or suicide.

We pray for the safety, confidence, and boundlessness it takes to live in your truth and we embrace that.
