In this video we discuss the BLM movement in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, and countless other black lives having been taken by the police. We need to do better, also in the LGBT community we still have a lot of work to do on racism and discrimination. It's not enough not to be a racist, we need to actively be anti-racist, and we admit that yes, we should have talked about this a long time ago already. We are no experts and we don't mean to take anyone's voice nor lecture anyone, but we need to acknowledge what is happening and, having this platform, we have a degree of responsibility. Even if we can get just one more person to donate or be encouraged to do more reading or discuss with others or go out and protest, that's better than nothing. Take care everyone, A + L www.instagram.com/one99four www.instagram.com/liliangessner
