Justice Smith is calling for more support of the LGBTQ+ community within the Black Lives Matter movement.
Rachel Murray/Getty Images for NetflixThe 24-year-old actor publicly came out on Instagram on Saturday, in a post sharing his experience at aprotest in New Orleans. Smith called for more inclusion of LGBTQ+ voices in the movement, noting how some demonstrators would"hold their tongue" when he and his partner, Nicholas Ashe, chanted"Black Trans Lives Matter" or"Black Queer Lives Matter.
"@nckash and I protested today in New Orleans. We chanted ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ ‘Black Queer Lives Matter’ ‘All Black Lives Matter’. As a black queer man myself, I was disappointed to see certain people eager to say Black Lives Matter, but hold their tongue when Trans/Queer was added," Smith wrote."I want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black.
"It is in our conditioning to get as close to whiteness, straightness, maleness as we can because that’s where the power is. And if we appeal to it, maybe it’ll give us a slice. But the revolution is not about appeal. It is about demanding what should have been given to us from the beginning. What should have been given to black, queer, and trans individuals from the beginning. Which is the right to exist. To live and prosper in public.
