Justice Smith ('Jurassic World') sale del armario y reivindica la lucha por las personas negras LGTB

Mientras Estados Unidos vive el que podría ser uno de los momentos más importantes de la historia de la lucha por la igualdad racial, los trabajadores de la industria de Hollywood están uniéndose a las manifestaciones y protestas. El actor de 'Jurassic World: El reino caído' y 'POKÉMON Detective Pikachu' Justice Smith ha aprovechado el momento reivindicativo para salir del armario públicamente y unir su voz a la lucha por las personas negras del colectivo LGTB.

En una publicación de Instagram en la que anuncia su relación con el también actor Nicholas L. Ashe ('Queen Sugar'), Smith ha reivindicado la importancia de luchar por la igualdad de las personas negras del colectivo LGTB, asegurando que "si tu revolución no incluye a las voces negras queer, es anti-negra".

@nckash and I protested today in New Orleans. We chanted 'Black Trans Lives Matter' 'Black Queer Lives Matter' 'All Black Lives Matter'. As a black queer man myself, I was disappointed to see certain people eager to say Black Lives Matter, but hold their tongue when Trans/Queer was added. I want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black. If your revolution is okay with letting black trans people like #TonyMcDade slip through the cracks in order to solely liberate black cishet men, it is anti-black. You are trying to push yourself through the door of a system designed against you, and then shut the door behind you. It is in our conditioning to get as close to whiteness, straightness, maleness as we can because that's where the power is. And if we appeal to it, maybe it'll give us a slice. But the revolution is not about appeal. It is about demanding what should have been given to us from the beginning. What should have been given to black, queer, and trans individuals from the beginning. Which is the right to exist. To live and prosper in public. Without fear of persecution or threat of violence. There is so much tragedy on the timeline these last couple of days so I added some photos of me and Nic to show some #blackboyjoy #blacklove #blackqueerlove ??????? You've been my rock and guiding light through all of this and I love you so much. I know that on the other side of this Is change, though the fight is far from over. #justicefortonymcdade #justiceforninapop #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #justiceforbreonna #sayhername #defundthepolice #endwhitesupremacy
