Um, that's still very, very segregated.
And I think it's it's a heartbreaking thing because there are so many beautiful things in the BIPOC queer community that I think really just deserve to be lifted up and celebrated.
and seen and appreciated, but we don't celebrate the BIPOC contributions to the queer community unless it's in um large entities like Marsha P or um RuPa, things like that.
And I think we can do better.
Um I also think
that a lot of that is the systemic ableism um and systemic homophobia.
Like when we look at our BIPOC communities, um
we don't see like it's a different type of pride.
It's a quieter pride.
Um, things take a lot
are a lot more um I don't want to say elite, but like it's it's more private and less out and public.
Like they don't have giant there's not giant BIPOC queer bars on Hennepin Avenue.
It's it's parties that take place and smaller venues and smaller engagements.
And like we see the same things within the BIPOC disability community.
And I think we really in order to understand the
lack of diversity in both the queer community and the disability community, we really need to look at the systemic racism.
Right.
Um, when you have an individual who might be living that life of intersectionality of being queer and disabled and BIPOC, like you
you're only gonna show so many of your cards to the world.
And when you're spending your day trying to stay alive fighting systemic ableism or fighting systemic racism, you're you're not gonna put your disability cards and your queer cards openly out because those make you more vulnerable.
