go wells fargo
As happy as I am to see queer people of color visible in advertisements I cannot feel much positivity from a bank (that got bailed out) trying to make money off our communities. Wells Fargo only cares because queer people are a supposedly high spending segment of society and they are taking full advantage.
So unless Wells Fargo is going to start investing in our communities, stop foreclosing homes, and actually prove some solidarity… it’s hard for me to feel much for this other than “that’s a cute picture”.
Is Black Queer Back? | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture
“Has black queer (and, in many cases, black androgyny) come back in style? Well, first, there are probably three immediate responses to that question, depending on who’s reading this: 1) What do you mean by “back,” it never left!, 2) What do you mean by “back,” it’s never in!, 3) What do you mean by “black androgyny” or “queerness”?”
Whether or not black queer is “back”… along with all the other questions the notion of “black queer” brings… I like the idea of it being back to challenge, at least a tiny bit, the extreme whiteness and homonormativity in current media representations of “queer” people. Optimism people… optimism.

Let’s get on this people. Get the settlement passed so they can feed people!
