Opinion: Pride is reproductive freedom
In the 54 years since New York City’s transgender and queer communities – primarily Black and Latine – fought back against police oppression at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, we have seen remarkable strides for some in our communities as well as much horrific backlash. To honor Pride in its entirety is a complex negotiation – we must hold the twin truths that we are living in the age of the greatest queer and trans visibility in our nation’s history, and also that ongoing violence and current policy and bodily attacks on our communities, particularly the most vulnerable among us, are a devastating manifestation of white supremacy and fascism in action. This year, Pride coincides with the first anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the end to our constitutional right to abortion, an appalling stripping of our bodily autonomy. As we recognize Pride this year and look to the future, imagining the joyous possibilities of the world we want to live in, I believe that reproductive freedom is a foundational part of our journey.
