a word
Well first & foremost, Happy 79th Birthday, Marsha P. Johnson. I talk & teach about Marsha often. But honestly when I think about her its usually as an abstract figure to represent all of the courageous Black Trans women who have mothered a nation. We won’t know their names, for many years most didn’t know hers but if not for them, there would be no us and there would be no Pride. She was not the first and certainly wouldn’t be the last but she became the face of the unseen and unheard. She birthed Pride and in many ways, birthed each one of us. Of every story I’ve heard and person I’ve talked to, Sylvia was the spitfire. She didn’t bite her tongue, took no prisoners and was with the shits to the extent that she could stand them. We need those fighters. She inspires the hell out of me with that fight. Marsha on the other hand was love personified. Loved flowers, loved to perform, loved colors and eye-catching outfits, loved her people but maybe most importantly, managed to love herself exactly as she was. And that may have been the biggest gift she gave us all. The honest to God truth is, outside of NYC before Stonewall 50, Marsha was barely acknowledged beyond community. She disappeared into the night and the police barely looked for her. When they found her floating in the Hudson, they ruled her death a suicide. Which everyone knew it was not. A victim of a vicious john, a homophobe, a serial killer, a predator, a crooked cop may have snuffed out her beautiful light but she wouldn’t have taken her own life after all that she had survived. Now there is talk that Marsha had a side you didn’t want to see due to her struggles with mental health. Maybe fact, maybe fiction, who of us doesn’t? But what Marsha left the world was a beautiful smile, the spirit of protection she cast over the girls that she, Sylvia & S.T.A.R. sheltered, a handful of iconic pictures, some scratchy old videos, a legacy of love and a trail of flowers. I wonder how tickled she’d be to see the posters and flyers and parties and statues that memorialize her now. The Mayor of Christopher Street has been forever crowned the Queen of a Movement. Well here’s to you Marsha P. Johnson. Happy Birthday!

decision protects parent's rights by reserving deeply personal conversations to be had between parents and children without school districts and teachers getting involved in matters of family, medical and mental health decisions.
(July 16, 2024) - Yesterday, California Governor, Gavin Newsom made Cali the first state to bar school district policies that require staff to notify parents If their child requests a change in their gender identification at school. Under this ruling, schools and teachers will not be required to disclose their student's gender identity or sexual orientation without permission of the student. Opponents argue that it will interfere with parents rights and could be dangerous to their children. Supporters argue that this will ease back the relentless attack on Trans kids and Trans rights as well as protect the safety of youth that come from unsupportive and anti-LGBTQ households for whom the disclosure could be deadly. Newsome's office contends this
This after several California School Boards passed notification policies and the teachers union in one district entered into a battle with School Board to fight to not have to enforce it because it puts teachers in such an unfair position.
(July 19, 2024) - Baby news from Brittney & Cherelle Griner on Friday. Griner announced on "We Need To Talk" on CBS Sports that Baby Bash was born on July 8th, 2024 and weigh 7lbs, 8oz. Congrats to the Griners!
(July 22, 2024) - Biden surprised the world yesterday by pulling out of the US Presidential race after much public and political outcry urging him to do so. He endorsed VicePresident Kamala Harris for the role and support from celebrities to the Clintons started pouring in. It doesn't take much to do better than Republicans on LGBTQ rights but where does the most likely Dem candidate and potential next United States President land on Queer & Trans rights? While her tenure as a District Attorney has landed her with less than stellar ratings in the race ratings, her position on LGBTQ rights has been much more favorable. She was the District Attorney in San Francisco which has a storied LGBTQ legacy. She joyfully performed Queer weddings when marriage equality passed, fought against the TransPanic defense and boasts a perfect 100 score on the Human Rights Campaign Congressional Scorecard.

Making History with Marsha P. Johnson How many of us can say we inspired a movement so much that there was an institute established in our name to defend the human rights of brown and black transgender people? The Marsha P Johnson Institute (MPJI) was created as a result of the fearless, pioneering efforts of Marsha, who was one of the prominent figures in the Stonewall uprising of 1969. When I first heard Marsha’s story, it sent chills down my spine to see such a fearless level of ACTION during such an unpredictable time. Johnson fought tirelessly for gay liberation and was an activist of the truest kind. Not long after the 1992 pride parade, Marsha’s body was found in the Hudson River and the all-too familiar fight for justice began for a serious investigation into Marsha’s untimely death. To this day, the fight for justice in Marsha’s tragic passing spurs on but trust me when I say, there is so much to be learned from the story of Marsha’s life as well. Pay It No Mind Johnson decided on the drag name ‘Marsha P. Johnson’ and proudly reminded everyone that the ‘P’ stood for ‘pay it no mind’ and would share this fact anytime questioned about gender. Never be afraid to set boundaries, especially where society tells you you shouldn’t. We decide what questions we want to answer, what discussions we are comfortable having and just who we share our stories with. I’m encouraged by Marsha’s tenacity & deliberate decision to draw a very clear line and never waiver. I can only imagine how many times people tested the theory and continued to prod even after being given a modest and respectful answer much like they do today. So what happens next? We take it up
a notch! My boundary line does not change because others want it to. One thing we know is that oppression is unnatural. It literally goes against every grain in our bodies for us to be treated less than human for any reason at all. So DO NOT stand for this behavior. Don’t allow someone to make you uncomfortable or pester you for anything. And don’t ever be afraid to speak OUT. Life is literally what you make it and it is possible to limit trauma by accepting less of what doesn’t serve you. We know when someone wants to share a heartfelt discussion just like we can tell when someone is trying to antagonize. My life, my rules, my way...thank you Marsha! Crown Your Damn Self Marsha was known for wearing crowns made of fresh flowers. As I research pictures from random moments in Marsha’s life, I keep seeing this pattern and I think of how Marsha’s teaching us a critical lesson here. Why wait for someone else to ‘crown’ you and acknowledge your accomplishments/worthiness? I know how hard it can be to feel ‘worthy’ but imagine how beautiful life would be if we all decided our worth for ourselves? Many don’t know Marsha struggled with mental health issues, as a lot of us do. Being black or brown in this life presents a person with a unique set of challenges that not many others face or even understand looking in from the outside. So get the professional help you need but also remember not to be too hard on yourself. I have yet to look at a picture of Marsha P Johnson and see a mentally ill individual looking back. Marsha didn’t wear these stigmas and neither should we. Think of
it as your obstacle course being impossibly set and created for you to fail but you don’t...you get through it anyway. You will encounter effects that will go beyond your ability to reconcile with them all on your own but grace and patience is key here. Look yourself in the mirror, affirm that you’re doing the very best you can, then take a DEEP breath in...slowly breathing it out and finally, lacing your crown of flowers about your royal head. In this moment, we honor Marsha for reminding us to stop and smell the roses with which we crown our selves as we walk through fire! We have to keep pushing forward no matter what lies ahead. We must always know inside of us that there’s truly nothing to be afraid of, especially if you’re convinced you’d rather live on your feet than die on your knees. We honor Marsha as well as all the other lives lost in this great battle for justice and equality on every level. And we will never stop!

The 1st Pride Was A
RIOT A Photographic editorial Inspired by Marsha P. Johnson -Zaire knight 2024
AN EDITORIAL FROM THIS MONTH’S COVER PHOTOGRAPHER, ZAIRE KING & HIS MODEL, EDEN @ THE STONEWALL INN, NYC Eden: We had been taking photos for a little over an hour and because I am currently disabled I asked if we could take a break and sit. While looking for a seat, I suggested Stonewall. As a Black Trans woman, I assumed it would be a safe space for me. We sit and less than 2 minutes later a waiter named Val (we presume, she later would refuse to give her name) approaches us and asks if she can get us anything. I worked in the restaurant industry, so while I felt a bit rushed, maybe she just realllly didn’t want us to feel ignored. I asked her if we could get the menu (she hadn’t given us one). Not a minute after receiving the menu and she’s already hovering over us asking if we’ve made a decision. Now, I feel rushed. And because I can sense Val is going to keep hounding us, I ask for water just to get her off our back and it’s hot out. She responds with “𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 water” in a dissatisfied tone. And I answer: “yes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 water.” She says “of course” (with a hint of sarcasm and I believe an eye roll) but she’s off and brings back the water in less than 30 seconds. She asks again “can I get you guys something?” I say “we’re still deciding” and she says, “you’ve been ‘deciding’ for a while.” First, no we haven’t; just-to remind you, it’s been less than 5 minutes overall since we’ve actually had the menu. And second, in her sentence I hear almost an accusatory tone, like she assumes we’re loitering at this restaurant. I responded with “I’m sorry I didn’t know we were in a rush.” She storms off muttering under her breath and this triggers me because #1: nobody has ever said anything positive in a mutter and #2: because the waiter is a white woman and I’m a Black Trans woman at best she was calling me a b*tch and at worst a cavalcade of slurs. I look at Zay, the photographer, and say, “surely, it’s not that serious.” Val hits a 180 and practically runs over to say “actually it’s that serious when it’s my job” matter-of-factly. And I simply respond “so do it.” She says,
“no need to be rude” and before we both devolve into a petty back and forth, she storms off again and Zay goes to talk to her. Zay comes out with Val not far behind and she inches closer and closer in my peripheral just to say “if you felt like I offended you, I’m sorry” in the way a child who wasn’t really sorry would apologize. And then we left. Zaire: What happened when I went to go talk to her: Val was walking into the restaurant and Eden had left to dispose of something while I decided to try and get the name of the waitress and express our grievances with her poor service. She suddenly became busy as if avoiding me and had me trail her in and out of the restaurant trying to have this conversation she was pretending she wanted to have. She said let’s talk at some point again and then began walking towards the bar area where I followed her. There were two people behind the bar counter. There was a red carpet rope but it wasn't closed off, so I followed her, then she spun around and raised her voice saying, “You can’t be back here!” She had her hands raised like she had no idea where I came from when she had literally led me there. I took a big step back and explained that I was a photographer for BlaqueOut Magazine which was why I was here photographing in honor of Marsha P. Johnson. And then I proceeded to say, “You came off very aggressive and I just wanted to communicate that and I wanted to get your name so I could write a review of this experience. Then she refused saying, “What’s a name? I’m a human being, you’re a human being. I’m just being an adult and trying to communicate. I wasn’t rude to you..” She was still being dismissive as hell. A man yelled out to her “ Hey Val! You okay?” from the bar and I said, “You know what, we clearly aren’t going to come to an understanding about this situation and I’m going to leave now.” Later… We later returned to Stonewall to take more photos once our group had grown larger. When we returned, the waitress, Val, was there and started walking up to me trying to talk while we took photos. It was really uncomfortable how desperate she was to make amends, but eventually I relented. After reframing in my mind how I could use her labor to include myself in the photos. You know the old, ‘who takes pictures of the photographer story,’ well Val kept asking, “ Are we cool?” & I kept staring at her awkwardly.
From Blaque/OUT Editor, Tamara Leigh As a native New-Yorker who has transplanted to Florida, I always caution people in NY about acting superior in terms of the evolution of Queer and specifically Trans justice. I don’t want any of us to get lackadaisical or delusional about how far there really is to go in the work of Queer rights. But I mostly don’t want OTHER people to think they’ve done “enough work” and feel that at this point we should be satisfied. To be from and have spent my life in arguably one of the “free-est” states and now is building a life and career in arguable one of the least free states, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the battle isn’t a northern one, a southern one, a city one or a hood one or a country one or a suburban one. It isn’t a Republican problem or Democrat problem and it is not a Black problem or a White problem. When your identity is Intersectional- its just an even bigger more oppressive series of problems. Homophobia and Transmisia ESPECIALLY when coupled with racism is a United States problem, a global problem and one that still has a very very long way to go. I wasn’t there when this happened but I do trust my team to the end of the earth. And I don’t know what type of day Val had, because customer service does indeed suck. But I do know the very last place anyone should even THINK they are experiencing Transmisia, homophobia or racism is the Stonewall Inn. But I can also tell you that it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. The magazine will be reaching out to the Inn to give them an opportunity to respond and make it right. But these folks deserved the opportunity to tell their story without input because what they felt they experienced, IS what they experienced. The End. We sincerely hope next time based on customer service, based on context, based on best business practice and based on history that isn’t an experience anyone else will have there. This no longer 1969. See cover. -T. Leigh
My name is Zaire Knight. I am a Multimedia Artist. I create work ranging from digital photography, painting, digital painting, collage, graphic design, graffiti art, etc. I also make music and write poetry and lyrics. I’ve always loved to create and was kept in art education programs since I was a toddler, which was when I was first acknowledged as an artist by a man in my church, David Macdonald. A Syracuse University Art Professor. He was attending my church one Sunday at the request of his late wife, where I was sitting in the pews avoiding being popped by my great grandmother for drawing on the church pamphlets. I saw his thick Locs and knew I wanted to draw every single one. As I was sneaking to draw this man I had never noticed, he snuck up on me and peaked over my shoulder in awe. He took me to my mother and asked if she had ever seen me draw stick figures, and I hadn't. I had always tried my best to draw what I saw. From that day forward he recommended art programs for me to my mother and told her I would attend Syracuse University one day. I attended Syracuse University for my BFA and went on to participate as a speaker and co creator in multiple documentaries and interviews about my art and contributing to other professors and well known artists' works throughout my career. Writing and illustrating for different magazines, creating murals, photographing events, and for brands. I am now pursuing my Masters in Arts Education and plan to go after my PHD after and become a Professor.

And So I Roar by Abi Daré, I think extracted every emotion you can think of. I laughed, I cried and I was furious all the way through. This book continues the story of Adunni from The Girl with the Louding Voice and if you loved that novel, you’ll definitely love this one. If you haven’t read the first novel though, it still stands alone because you get enough of the backstory to know what’s happening. Mrs. Daré continues to give us insight to the treatment of women and young girls in Nigeria. She shows how the voice of one person can spark the voices of many. You get to meet a group of young girls and your heart can't help but to love them and become invested in their separate stories. You get pulled into crying and laughing with them as well rooting for them. The themes of strength and sisterhood, resilience, forgiveness and the pain of holding on to the past are ever present. We get to look more into Tia’s story. She is the woman who saved Adunni from the home of an abuser. We get to see Tia’s complex relationship with her mother and how that plays into why she goes so hard for Adunni. You are also welcomed into the complex relationship between Tia and her husband, Ken. It highlights the heaviness of a relationship when there are unspoken secrets. Then, there is the power of misogyny and its devastating consequences to Black women. Daré manages to speak to the lives of her characters who could be your brothers and sisters, but she leaves nothing untouched. I love that the novel touches on climate change and the damage it’s doing in Africa. It is an issue that is happening all over the world and if we dont fix it soon there will be no planet to speak of. This novel explores some heavy subject matter and if you're triggered by themes such as domestic violence, child abuse and child rape, assault, murder and suicide, then you may want to skip by this one. It is so eloquently presented though, it also makes you want to be a voice in the world. This novel touches forgiveness of others and yourself and what that looks like when you're reluctant to do so. It empowers you though to take the step. This book truly touched my soul in such away that was refreshing and disturbing. I found myself wanting to have that childlike way of looking at situations like Adunni and disturbed by the mistreatment of these girls and women. The black woman is the most unprotected and disrespected person on the planet and it’s about time we start protecting our Queens! Do me and yourself a favor and grab this book. You need to hear the stories. Release date is this week on August 6th. Get your copy!

D A R E ’ continues the protagonist’s story from her debut novel and gives additional depth by intertwining it with the voices of other young women in her latest novel, And So I Roar. The following is my interview with Abi Daré. I got to know her, her storytelling, and her meanings. EW: How did you know you wanted to be a writer? Do you have a favourite writer or a favourite story that inspired you? AD: I discovered my passion for writing through my love of storytelling, which began when I was in primary school and was enrolled in drama club. Later as I read the Famous Five novels during my teenage hood, I loved being transported into the worlds created by the authors and living vicariously through the characters. Those early days were pivotal in shaping my desire to become a writer.
Privileges have come with my latest venture and this is one of them. An opportunity to interview a New York Times bestselling author is exciting and dynamic for your favorite dyslexic book nerd. Abi Daré came out with a debut novel that brought the rich and storied Nigerian culture into the homes of those who have never left their city. She weaved a tale of profound individualism and strength. It was a story that empowered a girl’s voice to speak across languages, cultures, and continents. Now, Daré has done it again. Her second novel
EW: What is your writing process? Tell us what you do to prepare yourself. What is your favourite spot? Do you have a favourite writing instrument or music, etc.? AD: My writing process is a blend of structure and spontaneity, shaped by rituals that help me immerse deeply into the creative flow. Before diving into writing, I often spend time getting to know my characters (who are they, and what do they want?) before researching and outlining my ideas. This helps me establish a foundation from which to build the narrative. I often sit in a local café to write. I love being surrounded by the chatter of other humans and the smell of coffee. I don’t listen to music.

My fellow adventurous souls, lend me your attention. As someone who embraces my queerness and indulges in various kinks and pleasures, I hold no judgment and have few limits. As long as it involves consenting adults, I believe in exploring and enjoying oneself. When it comes to life, especially sex, I take a holistic approach. Now, let's talk about boundaries when it comes to anal sex. Although I lean towards being a bottom about 90% of the time, I'm well aware of the ins and outs of topping. Sometimes, just like using Google Maps, you may encounter unexpected obstacles on the journey, like rocky mountains or mudslides. But hey, when you really like someone, you roll with the punches because "shit happens," right? Speaking of which, if someone claims it's their first time and there's absolutely nothing happening back there, it raises an eyebrow. Something doesn't quite add up. So, my question to you is, what's your breaking point? Is it a little water, a full-blown painting, mucus, blood, or are you the type who can power through anything? Do you embrace your partner, providing reassurance and aftercare, allowing them to clean up before continuing the fun? I'm genuinely curious because, for one of my
regulars, I've seen him countless times without any issues. I always make sure I'm ready, so I prepared myself before his arrival. Yet, after our passionate encounter, he seemed bothered by the fact that the outcome wasn't pure white, but slightly cream-colored. I inquired if there was an issue during his own cleaning process, to which he said no. So, I explained that this wasn't fecal matter, considering the extensive preparation I had done. I reminded him that, even though it was a new experience for us, it was a possibility. As we delve into the mystery of why he's being so stingy with his weapon of mass destruction, the news of 45 rudely interrupted our conversation. Surprisingly, he was so turned off by the situation that he abruptly ended our time together and dropped me off. Personally, I feel his reaction was quite strong, especially considering I hadn't even reached my own climax. Keeping in mind that this person identifies as a cisgender heterosexual man, I’m curious about your thoughts….
