I can only describe some guy as an Uncle Tom but he’s white. I just don’t think your average white queer or just anyone that’s not black knows the word.

new to reddit... but my amazing friends and I created a new web series focusing on LGBT and Latinx characters that we have been dying to share!

I was so tired of seeing so many queer stories written outside of our point of view so I decided to create a new series that focuses on queer people of color. Functional follows two best friends Jazmyne and Guillermo trying to live their best life!

The series is out now, we just want to share out to as many people as possible <3

Let us know what you think!

Okay, so this show has everything. And just may be the most radical show ever on TV, aside from Random Acts of Flyness, which we also need to discuss. C'mon folks, there's a revolution happening and it's being televised.

Share with us those micro and macro aggressions. Like all those times you tried to call out racist, anti-blackness, white supremacy, or homophobia in a topic, and you were shut down. Or something like that.

What are we doing to get this subreddit more popping?

Just showing face❤️😗

LGBTQI2S people of colour are chronically underrepresented in academic research. This anonymous online questionnaire is an opportunity for you to help change that! The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between microaggressions and substance use from an intersectional framework. The ultimate aim is to highlight the central role that communities play in increasing resiliency among LGBTQI2S racial and ethnic minorities.

Hi All, I recently came out as non-binary at the age of 24. While I have known for quite some time, I was unable to accept myself and nurture my identities until very recently. This occurred for a number of reasons, but most importantly because I am a fairly new Ph.D. student at a large R1 university. I suppose I feared more backlash from professors and my fellow graduate students than I previously received, simply based on my race in an environment that does not support POCs.

While I have learned to love myself and be my authentic self in a number of spaces, I am struggling with finding community (i.e. there are not a lot of Black, queer, enby academics). And while I know that community does not have to shared all of these identities, I have found very few people who shared even two of these identities in my activist and academic spaces.

Are you all aware of any chat rooms or websites that may help me find my people?

Hello there! A while ago, you may have seen a recruitment add related to bisexual (or non-monosexual) women's experiences of discrimination, resilience, advocacy, and mental health outcomes. I want to thank all of you who took the time to respond to the questions, sharing your perspectives, and entrusting us as researchers. Our research team truly appreciates it!

You may have found yourself curious about the findings of this study, so I'd like to share with you what we found. More specifically, this study examined the relations among multiple discriminatory experiences (anti-bisexual discrimination, sexism), LGBTQ+ and feminist advocacy, resilience, and psychological outcomes (distress and well-being). Results from the study found that both anti-bisexual and sexist discrimination were related to psychological distress, although LGBTQ+ and feminist advocacy and resilience were related to less psychological distress and greater well-being. In addition, resilience appeared to offset the harmful impact of sexism in relation to psychological distress. So, there's some good support for the importance of advocacy initiatives on one's own well-being (and just in terms of working to create a more just society), as well as developing resilience to aid in coping with discrimination.

I know several folks provided feedback on this study, also suggesting that level of identity outness (including concealment and disclosure) may have made some of these experiences more or less common. Although we didn't include this a variable in the study, we do believe it is an important area of additional research-as well as bisexual invisibility altogether.

Again, thank you so much for your assistance!

Take good care all!

Hi, for all the qpoc who are with white partners, how did you deal with racism in their family or malicious racism from their family? And for those who have issues because of it, with their partner, how are you dealing with it/ do you think it could ever break you two up?

I'm a queer woman of color in an interracial relationship with a white trans guy who is out as being trans to his mom and not his dad, purely out of believing they wouldn't care/would be not understanding, not out of fear of being hurt or anything. I was kicked out of my last year for being with him (pre him coming out as trans, so we were a same sex couple back then) so I live in his house now.

It seems like my partner's family's behavior is racist, and homophobic in how they have treated me, because of how badly I've been treated. I know my blackness and my queerness are things that def affect how they see and treat me and their lack of interaction or investment in me rectifies their bigroty.

His immediate family ( his parents) aren't malicious or antagonistic, but they've known how uncomfortable and miserable I felt the whole time, when I was kicked out and just moved in, and didnt try to talk to me or help with any of the huge issues I had BC of the fallout. ( around the time I just got kicked out, I had to deal with A LOT of legal, bureaucratic, logistical bullshit that consumed my life basically up until I started school at a new uni in January this year). and I was in no position to try on my end, due to the overwhelming stress and PTSD and dissociative amnesia and just really terrible mood swings and fights with my partner ( BC of how uncomfortable I felt living here mainly). Im back at their house for summer break now and I've gotten the courage to leave the room on my own to get food, but they haven't changed a bit and they haven't asked as to why I don't even have a car anymore ( it was my dads and thats a whole other story). I'm a lot better emotionally and mentally now tho and I'm back here for summer break and nothing has changed. Also, my partner has talked to them numerous times about me and how I felt to them and still, nothing.

Please dont suggest or say that ' hey maybe they had different intentions or x y or z as to why they didnt help you or talk to you or did anything' BC honestly it would be too emotionally laborious to talk about the whys to their behavior during that time. what matters now is that it happened and they're responsible for their behavior, regardless, to me.

The one time where my partner, partners mom and I talked, I was blamed for not trying enough and I cried the whole time until the convo suddenly became about her and the financial burdens she was under ( long story short, my partners dad makes like 90k and controls all of their money and his mom like had an $11 an hour a job at the time ) and it became about making her feel better and like nothing beneficial for me ever came of it.

So honestly, i feel like I cant take on the emotional labor of trying with them. I'm still emotiobally healing and can't take doing that right now. And its not as if they will try either. And it just depresses me that this is how it is because i already lost my own family. And this non- relationship I have with them has caused so many fights between me and my partner and I just dont know what to do. I know he also does not like them and does not feel comfortable with them either. even though I started having this us vs them mentality towards them, as a way to stop blaming my partner for my past misery with living with them, I really dont want to keep having this us vs them mentality with him. I dont want us to be family-less, but more selfishly, how they've treated me has really depressed me and makes me feel so isolated and hurt living here and thats like a big role in our relationship.

I really love my partner and maybe my concern about his family and our relationship is also stemming from this place of deep seated worthlessness i have for myself that I'm still unlearning and healing from. Maybe the situation is just helpless and the best my partner and I can do is move away from them in a year or two and not talk to them so much.

I am a Black, gender fluid, pansexual person wanting to talk to other POC GSMs about identity. I will pay people $20 for their participation in an hour long interview with me. As a person with multiple marginalized identities, I want to add more voices to the research about how people find strength and meaning from their identities. Please send me a message if interested!
