Black Lives Matter
Trans Resistance: LGBTQ+ Community, Allies Celebrate Black Trans Lives
Trans Resistance March & VigilBy: Mike Givens/TRT Assistant Editor—The weather that day saw a low of 63 degrees and a high of 75; a perfect day for congregating, fellowshipping, and marching. Saturday, June 13, originally designated as the date for the Boston Pride Parade and Festival, would instead become a day to honor the power, beauty, and resilience of Black trans people.“My initial desire to organize a march came from an article I read about Los Angeles Pride marching in solidarity with Black Lives Matter,” said Jessica “Frenchy” French, one of the co-organizers of that Saturday’s Trans Resistance Vigil and March.
