A reminder that anti-racism is an active choice and exercise. Don’t just say “BLACK LIVES MATTER” online without doing the work or having conversations.
It’s times like this when we notice those around us who continue to see this as an American issue instead of a global one.

UK Black Pride was birthed in 2005, when a bus load of Black lesbians travelled to Southend-on-Sea to celebrate themselves and bear witness to each other as Black womxn living and loving at the intersection of racial, gendered and class oppression.

Today it’s intersex awareness day. We need to uplift intersex voices and help to END INTERSEX SURGERIES. Children are routinely operated on from a young age to “fix” or “correct” their bodies and make them look “normal”. It’s not conversion therapy, it’s “conversion SURGERY”.

We should all be gravely concerned about the UK’s increase in homophobic violence. Our communities warned about this in our 2021 survey and we take extra care to ensure our events are safe. This act deplorable act of violence did not take place at UK Black Pride, but afterwards.
Breaking: The second homophobic attack in London in the space of a week.
Gay couple Michael and Nat were enjoying Black Pride at the weekend when they were punched several times by a stranger.
Police are treating the incident as homophobic.
