“I think that change and growth happens with many approaches,<br />
and I think the sort of informal, conversational approach that we<br />
can have with our friends and family and loved ones, is something<br />
that any of us could do. And I think that on the flip side of that, it<br />
is still also folks’ responsibility to educate themselves and keep<br />
up with the times and what’s going on,” Garcon said.<br />
Conversations about the intersectionality of Black and LGBTQ+<br />
have to continue to be had. Activists and advocates like Garcon and<br />
Arheghan leave footprints to continue advocating and teaching<br />
about the disparities and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community,<br />
starting with the LGBTQ+ youth. Simply acknowledging these<br />
things is a start to leading the cause.<br />
