John Boyega at Hyde Park (lLondon)
Β βWe are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd. We are a physical representation of our support for Sandra Bland. We are a physical representation of our support for Trayvon Martin. We are a physical representation of our support for Stephen Lawrence.β Boyega, 28, added: βIβm speaking to you from my heart. Look, I donβt know if Iβm going to have a career after this, but f*** that.
βToday is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we donβt know what George Floyd could have achieved, we donβt know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today weβre going to make sure that wonβt be an alien thought to our young ones.β
βI need you to understand how painful this sh*t is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isnβt the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.β

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women like Miss Major and other people of colour paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you arenβt also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now.Β Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can. (Edited to add links and make the image clearer)
I guess Iβm just not used to running around a shopping mall in the middle of the night being chased by killer robots.
