From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives.

"We are a prime target because of our Blackness, and our intersectionality of being trans adds an extra target on our backs," said Jonovia Chase, co-lead organizer of House Lives Matter, a community organization composed of sexual- and gender-minority people of color.

Jonovia Chase, center, honors native land in an opening ceremony led by Graciela Tibiaquira at the Juneteenth Jubilee. In recent weeks, people have turned out in never-before-seen numbers to support the LGBQT community of color -- and especially Black transgender people. In Harlem, in New York City, hundreds gathered for a massive celebration of music and art intended to"lift up and center Black Queer and Trans folks" in an event co-organized by The Blacksmiths, Intersectional Voices Collective and the Wide Awakes.

You don’t like the way things are going so you quit? Probably better that way.

Lmao you are a joke.

Haha ... No All trans lives matter.

ABC NEWS IS NO LONGER AN UNBIASED TRUSTWORTHY NEWS ORGANIZATION ANYMORE. THEY ARE THE MOUTHPIECE, OF THE ANTI- AMERICAN HARD LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY. LYING CONSTANTLY EVERY DAY. THEIR FCC LICENSE SHOULD BE REVOKED IMMEDIATELY !

BLM=Communism

What if they vote Trump?

KennethHowardC3 BULLSHIT

total lies they are a commie front. Does anyone ,even hard core liberals , believe this mickey mouse crap

I dunno know about. I know a lot of black people. And the alphabet people are definitely NOT the vibe.

Dang it man!!! There’s another acronym I’ve got to memorize.

So BLM members who are anti LGBTQ muslims are......

🙄

Nah that’s that gay shit my b

It’s about raising money

While waiting for paycheck to paycheck you, you can earn more than $8500 in a week, you don’t send money to anyone, ask me how. Email:laurahops666gmail.com

Yeah... that's not what it says. Not in the title of the movement. And, we've ALL BEEN TOLD... that saying 'ALL LIVES MATTER' is racist AF... So, don't go jumping on the LGBTQ bandwagon, BLM, for sensationalist coverage from a shit organization like ABC. DefundABC DefundCNN

Most black people don’t care about LGBTQ in any capacity and mostly share conservative values

They matter too! But one problem gotta be solved before another one can.

Ehh

The Marxist queers are enjoined with the Marxist BLM. A symbiotic relationship of a bunch of goons the media is demanding we bow down to. And look at all the mouthbreathers willing to do it.

George Floyd was trans? I did not know that.

Agree abc we have been manipulated by the left from the beginning. It's too bad more of us don't see it like you do. Great job of reporting the truth. Every life under god matters. Period.

So now BLM is going to gin up baseless hate in the LGBTQ community and incite riots and looting that destroy their neighborhoods too? BLM is equal opportunity terrorists!

Narrative pivot.

This is classic. It’s become common to be criticized for saying “all lives matter”. So stand in line L, B, G and T. You too Q.

No they haven’t...

So. 'All Lives Matter?' Pence was right.

Who cares honestly

We aint go for all that in the community🥴

Not true.

I believe it. Its all bullshit. I think blacklivesmatter should be considered a Terrorist org. Along with the lgbtq and AntifaDomesticTerrorists

Incorrect. - It was and always will be about Marxism!

Sanity goes blind on a buisy street!

Really? What if the person is a gay, black conservative? It's all 100% Marxism. Period.

Yes and MARXIST

So .... now it’s okay to not be inclusive?

🙄 The struggle is REAL.

Must be true the media was well behaved when covering them. Wondering why the confession?🤔

There is no God in the United States. They are cursed.

Is that on the fine print, or what?

Can we be trans racial now? can everyone just be black and eliminate all racism?

Why the hell are they protesting black trans lives matter? Most attacks I see against a black LGBTQ person is done by a group of black guys. They should go to predominantly black neighborhoods and go protests. Dumbasses

Plus they are ok with guns... strange images ...And radical leadership 'I'm just here to protect the people' | Armed BLM protesters take part in permanent vigil around Confederate general Robert E. Lee's statue, in Richmond, Virginia Courtesy: Ruptly

Queer? Uh... is that no longer a derogatory term? Man how the PC’s change their rules like most people change their socks.

BlackLivesMatter will loose my support. The transgender community is full of delusion and that’s a mental health problem. You can’t change chromosomes. The issue with racism far out weighs supporting someone’s need to be different. Your are not a woman if you weren’t born one

Was George Floyd gay?

BLM-Peace of Power?

My baby just gave me her poopy face indicating she would like a diaper change. She was able to communicate with what she wants from me better than any BLM supporter has.

They’re Communists
