Say it loud
Take a visible action with limited-edition Pride products for Surface and Xbox Gear. To recognize the launch of this product, we’re donating a total of $250,000 to nonprofits to advance LGBTQI+ and racial equity.
How does being LGBTQI+ relate to racism?
“Being a Black man of the trans experience I face double discrimination.”
Why do you need to come out?
“Coming out is about being true to yourself, and sometimes that helps others, too.”
Why do you feel the need to protest?
“Protests happen when there’s no justice. Stonewall uprising sparked a revolution.”
If you were born one way – be that way.
“We are defined by who we are, not who we’re born as.”
Are you a man or a woman?
“Gender encompasses a whole spectrum of things. I don’t want to be confined to a binary.”
It’s Pride, why do you talk about racism?
“None of the limited freedoms we enjoy would be possible without the Black and Latinx trans people who started Stonewall.”
