Come join the Safe OUTside the System Collective of the Audre Lorde Project for our first annual BEDSTUY PRIDE. The Safe OUTside the System (SOS) Collective is an anti-violence program led by and for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) people of color. We are devoted to challenging hate and police violence by using community based strategies rather than relying on the police.
Why BedStuy Pride?
Bed Stuy Pride 2011 is an opportunity for neighborhood folks to come together and celebrate the fabulous Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Transgender, and Gender Non-conforming People of Color community in the neighborhood many of us grew up, and currently live in. As an anti-violence community-based collective, SOS feels that one of the best ways to combat violence in our community is to start AT HOME. Bed Stuy Pride 2011 is an opportunity for us to show our community how truly fabulous we are, Brooklyn style!

This is a step in the right direction! I'm looking forward to this event and meeting more Brooklynites who are SGL This has the potential to be a movement. If we can organize small pride events in local Black communities and then culminate with one large Black Pride, that would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey do it this was in the UK I believe, UK Black Pride is made up of smaller Black Pride groups from Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, etc and they then come together for one big UK Black Pride in London, which is coming up soon.
Yeah, I think this is a great step in the right direction as well, Greg. Between this new event and Harlem Pride we may have a movement trend going on with OUR VISIBILITY and DIALOGUES.
