Permission

How can we coexist as members of multiple minority groups, and how can we check our privilege to be more understanding?

Celebrating its 15th year, the Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference featured speakers from all walks of life and invited attendees of all ages, demographics, and identities. I took the conference as an opportunity to see a new city while learning and gaining a new understanding of the trans and non-binary communities.

In the wake of the tragedy in Orlando, Florida after a gunman opened fire at a gay bar, killing 50 people, the largest mass shooting in American history, the LGBTQ community in New York was teeming with anger and grief.

This week, my rose was the Lily's School for Girls graduation, my thorn was the barring of Rep. Maloney's (D-NY) LGBTQ bill in the House, and my bud is watching my friend's dog, Althea, for the weekend! I'm a dog person through and through.

This week, my Rose was the NYC AIDS Walk and getting a killer deal on ice cream at Rite Aid. My Thorn was the verbal abuse suffered by Pearl Love on a NYC train. My Bud is (honestly a cop-out) the weather! GOIN' TO THE BEACH! The post Breakfast Tea – AIDS Walk, Ice Cream and Pearl Love (May 16, 2016) appeared first on PERMISSION.

Growing up, I was always told never to talk about money and politics. That backfired, and became two of the topics I was most curious about. Since then, nothing has been off the table in terms of conversations and discussions. When I met José Rivera, Jr., a queer performance artist, he had the same attitude towards sharing, and together we noticed a major lack of openness from many others.
