June is PRIDE month. As we reflect on the 50 year legacy of PRIDE celebrations worldwide, we honor the transgender women of color who fought back in protest aga...inst police brutality. To this day, the LGBTQ+ community continues to experience discrimination, violence, and oppression for our sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender identity. The first PRIDE was a riot. In the names of Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and all pioneers of gay liberation and transgender rights, Silicon Valley Pride stands in solidarity with BLACK LIVES MATTER, and we will continue to stand together proudly in the fight against institutionalized, systemic racism and discrimination in our country. #svpride #blacklivesmatter #westandwithyou See more
