LGBTQ people face an incarceration rate that is roughly three times higher than the general incarceration rate, according to data compiled by the Williams Institute. And the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey reported that Black transgender women were incarcerated approximately at a rate ten times that of the general population. In the latest episode of #AuthenticVoicesOfPride presented by Chevy, LGBTQ Nation follows Dominique Morgan, the Executive Director of Black and Pink National. She knows these issues on a personal level – and that’s why she’s fighting for her community.

Senior Attorney at Lambda Legal Richard Saenz joins the conversation to discuss how LGBTQ people living with HIV are impacted by the justice system

Chevrolet is matching donations to Lambda Legal up to $25,000. For almost 50 years, Lambda Legal has been a major force in affecting social change through our public policy and impact litigation work on behalf of the LGBTQ community and everyone living with HIV. We are winning new protections for the most vulnerable in our community including people of color, people living with HIV, seniors, trans/GNC people, and youth. We are defending our community from attacks designed to roll back our rights.

Pouring the Perfect one

It’s estimated that over 30 million people worldwide have died from AIDS-related illnesses over the last 40 years and owing to the heightened risk of infection, the homosexual community has been devastated by a huge number of deaths during this time. Thankfully, due to improved treatment, AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by 60% since 2004.

Regardless of social standing, fame, or wealth, HIV/AIDS has had a tragic effect on communities all over the world. Even though medical treatment has come a long way since the early 80s, we’re yet to see a cure or vaccine emerge so it’s still just as important today as it ever was to continue educating people on the life-changing effects of this virus.

Many famous icons from stage and screen have also fallen victim to the disease over the years, and today we celebrate the lives of 15 gay celebrities who died of AIDS.

Photoshoot turned Proposal!!

6 years ago, Jonathan and Derrick (JD) met at Grambling State University. Like most black gay men, they have battled societal normality that led to self-hate, fear, spiritual confrontation, and familial tensions. JD is a testament that relationships require hard work, and love does truly win! From preaching to combatting racism; from graduate school and now law school: the two have been together through it all, showing the world that love is growth and sacrifice.

One Love.

7 yrs later I finally asked my other half to Marry Me!!!

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- After two black transgender women were murdered last week, advocates are making efforts to confront transphobia.

According to The Human Rights Campaign, Riah Milton in Ohio and Dominique Fells in Philadelphia, are the 13th and 14th transgender murder victims in the US this year.

Reporter Frances Lin spoke to two black members of the LGBTQ community here in Springfield and tells us their experience with racism toward black trans women .

Kyler Sherman-Wilkins shared his personal experience with discrminiation as a black man in the LGBTQ community.

"Homelessness and unemployment are particularly high amongst trans black, black trans women, or black trans individuals in general," Sherman-Wilkins said. "In terms of unemployment, transgender workers report unemployment twice that at a rate of the population as a whole."

"I work at a university, so in the academic context, they tend to be a lot more liberal and progressive than the general population," Sherman-Wilkins said. "However I do feel like in general, my everyday life when I'm not in a university setting, I'm often concerned with the general things that LGBT individuals are faced with."

And Toni Robinson, who identifies as gender queer, experienced the same things.

"Not only are black trans women pushed away from society, but they're also pushed away from a family perspective," Robinson said.

"I'm finding like the violence towards me or the discrimination towards me is far more violent than it was when I was identifed as female," Robinson said. "So that's something that I'm sure relates to trans, non-binary black folks that are being killed and harassed across the country."

They explained what gender queer means.

"Umbrella term for people that have are either trans, non-binary, have some type of queerness to their gender identity itself, not necessarily their sexuality," Robinson said.

And they both said racism occurs everywhere.

"I probably have felt more discrimination and incidences of racism in the community than I have outside of the community," Sherman-Wilkins said.

"Racism is not exclusive to other communities just because we are all part of a minority being queer, does not dismiss the existence of racism," Robinson said.

"Members of the LGBT community who are white or cis, or in middle class, they don't acknowledge their own privilege," Sherman-Wilkins said. "They're not free of bigotry, even if they belong to a group that has been discriminated against."

Sherman-Wilkins also said the recent SCOTUS decision to protect workers from being fired for sexuality is a great step forward, but doesn't touch on other topics, such as President Trump's recent decision to roll back on healthcare for trans individuals.

A is for Andrea Jenkins, the first openly trans Black woman elected to public office. B is for Bayard Rustin, an advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr. C is for Harlem Renaissance poet and playwright Countee Cullen. These are the ABCs of Black LGBTQ pioneers.

Vogue, the dance, not the magazine.

Voguing is fairly new, created in the 80s, compared to the New York City drag ballroom scene which goes back to at least the 1920s. The dance's name is borrowed from Vogue magazine. The movements that define voguging are also styled after the model poses in Vogue. Willi Ninja, considered the godfather of vogue, also drew inspirations from some unlikely sources such as mimes and martial arts. Voguing also happens at Kiki balls—like a junior legeauge before the main competitions of the ballroom scene. In the LGBTQ community voguing is more than just a popular dance fad co-opted into mainstream. Surrogate families called houses are also a major part of the ballroom scene.

Facing the throwaway comment that “you can’t be black and queer”, Suriya Aisha, creator of social support network UNMUTED, saw nobody visibly living in the intersection that she found herself in. So she made a choice, for a while. In this talk she examines how our culture interacts with our identity, and how we can create spaces for people to bring 100% of themselves to the table; allowing them to become whole again.

Suriya Aisha is a writer, theatre maker, workshop facilitator and creative producer who is passionate about equal opportunities and representation. Her ongoing project STAMP works with young people with additional needs in partnership with the Next Generation team at mac birmingham. She has also launched a peer and social support network - UNMUTED, for young people of colour who identify as LGBTQI. She has performed alongside Meera Syal at Theatre Royal Stratford East and previously featured as part of the ‘Late at Tate’ exhibition ‘Visibly, Invisible’ curated by Saira Awan. As a member of the REP Foundry in 2014, Suriya initiated ‘Dark Room’ - a theatrical exploration of the relationship between culture, gender and mental health, and was recently accepted onto The Royal Court Theatre’s Live Lunch writers programme where she explored themes of culture and family through her play ‘Nine Nights’.

In this #NEDAConnections, we talk with up-and-coming R&B Singer/Songwriter, Jada Michaels, about her experience as a plus size, LGBTQ, and black woman in the music industry.

In 2017 I met the perfect man for me, although he lived in USA and I lived in Mexico. But we didn't see that as an obstacle, so in 2018 we decided to start a Long Distance Relationship, and everything went amazing so in 2019 I decided to propose to him in our holiday in Brasil and many people were involved in. My dancers friends from Hello Dolly Mexico help me record a video that I sent to my dancers friends from Billy Elliot and Aparecida O Musical, with a choreography so they can learn it. We were supposed to go sightseeing in Sâo Paulo with one of my closest friends in Valentine's Day but she said that she needed to go and record some dancers choreography first, so my boyfriend and I went with her and this is what happened after...
