Blackstone Community Center | Boston | March 22, 2016
Discrimination against one represents discrimination against all. That was the message that emerged from a public community forum on “intersectionality” focusing on challenges faced by trans people of color in the community. Along with a panel of distinguished guests, more than 80 people attended the event, hosted by Boston Pride, Black Pride, and Latin@Pride. The event was held at the Boston Centers for Youth & Families’ Blackstone Community Center. Intersectionality refers to social categories—like race, class, and gender—and how, when they overlap, in all kinds of circumstances, the result can lead to discrimination and disadvantage.
