PRIDE MONTh<br />

Black LGBT individuals are repeatedly erased <strong>and</strong><br />

denied existence, trapped in a societal narrative that<br />

equates Blackness <strong>with</strong> heteronormativity <strong>and</strong> falsely<br />

associates queerness exclusively <strong>with</strong> whiteness. This<br />

is not just a misconception but a denial of history;<br />

queerness has thrived in African cultures long before<br />

colonial-imposed homophobia ever took root. From<br />

ancient tribes led by figures across the spectrum<br />

of sexual <strong>and</strong> gender identities to the vibrant Black<br />

LGBT communities of today, we <strong>have</strong> always been<br />

here. Yet, despite our enduring presence, Black LGBT<br />

folks face significant barriers in accessing healthcare<br />

<strong>and</strong> insurance compared to their peers, making<br />

services like those provided by In Our Own Voices not<br />

just helpful, but essential.<br />

“In order to be visible,<br />

we need to be safe <strong>and</strong> healthy...”<br />

We dem<strong>and</strong> recognition, not just as a matter of<br />

identity but as a crucial step towards securing our<br />

health <strong>and</strong> safety. Visibility for Black LGBT people<br />

means having the healthcare infrastructure that<br />

recognizes <strong>and</strong> meets our specific needs. This isn’t<br />

about special treatment; it’s about equal access to<br />

resources that ensure we can live safely <strong>and</strong> healthily.<br />

It’s time to dismantle the myths that harm us <strong>and</strong><br />

build systems that uplift us. Free <strong>and</strong> accessible<br />

healthcare isn’t just a service—it’s a right, <strong>and</strong> it’s<br />

pivotal to our survival <strong>and</strong> resistance against a<br />

system that often overlooks us.
