Being a queer black non-binary person attending a predominantly white institution, I have felt the discomfort of being the racial minority in the mostly white queer spaces and the sexual and gender minority in spaces with people of color. I didn’t know where I fit, and so I felt very alone.

Queer people of color need support, especially trans people of color. Since the capitalist society we live in treats higher education as a necessity to succeed, our safety in these institutions should be treated as a necessity as well. Safety includes being respected, heard, and supported in all of the intersectionalities of our identities. In order for that to happen, it is crucial that we have our own spaces and support systems. I have been subjected to and witnessed a lot of pain associated with race, sexual orientation, and gender. I am here for and will continue to fight for the safety of qtpoc. I encourage you to do so as well.

Here is what @andiiviveros has to say about coming out.

“Hi there, my name is Andii Viveros and I’m part of YouthResource which is part of Advocates for Youth and today I just really want to talk to you about what coming out has taught me personally. I was going to go on about, you know, how like it helped me view things through other people’s perspective and to be more accepting of people, but I just really want to keep it real with you all and tell you that coming out has taught me that the only person I have to justify anything to or the only person I have to answer to is myself. And I feel like if you’re true to yourself, whether that be having a label for yourself, regardless of gender or sexuality, I feel like being open and honest with yourself is the best way for you to be happy and that’s what I really want to convey to you. And that’s #mystoryOUTloud. Muah!”
