The Black Lives Matter co-founder opened up PrideSummit with a powerful message
on Saturday , Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors described herself as a"proud, queer Black woman" who has been out since she was 16 years old.
Welcoming everyone to the Pride event, Cullors underlined,"we have so much to give young, queer and trans folks today." She explained that, for the last seven years, Black queer women have been"at the helm" of the Black Lives Matter movement. During that time, they took on"some of the biggest forces in American politics" such as the Republican Party, the Democratic Party and law enforcement.
Following Cullors, singer Shea Diamond performed and offered a call to action:"Don't Shoot." Boy George, Trixie Mattell, Rex Rebel and Madame Gandhi were among the other artists who will perform throughout the day.
