We are fighting for the rights of not only the LGBTQ+ community but more specifically the colored people in that community. LGBTQ+ people are constantly being discriminated because "it's not right" or "God didn't create them to be this way". If they add on being a colored person, they get the worst end of the stick. The fight for equality among all people has gone on for years and is still going on because people have yet to see that we are all just people. Discrimination is no where near over and we are here to stand up and change that. Students should be able to express themselves in a safe environment.

Here's the Facts
- About 30% of LGBTQ+ people of color are being discriminated more than those that are white.
- There are students being pushed aside from reporting bullying and harassment because the school system is telling them it is their fault for being “too open” about themselves.
- There are adults that are too afraid to call the police in fear that they will not be helped or even harassed because of their sexual orientation or the color of their skin.
- Philadelphia added black and brown to acknowledge those LGBT people of color who have felt excluded by the larger LGBT community. But the extra two colors were controversial, drawing loud criticism in particular from white homosexual people.
