7TH GRADE
The LGBTQIA community is a very important part of my life. With the pride parade being shut down this year, I realize how much this COVID-19 pandemic has impacted me. With these photos I want to still show the LGBTQIA community. I want to show my version of pride while being stuck in quarantine and how I am surrounded by my community through photography. These photos show myself and objects in my house that each are significant and meaningful to me. The LGBTQIA community is something I’m very proud and passionate about and I want to share this with everyone through my lens. It also ties into BLM , the Black Lives Matter movement, as it is still something that people continue to judge because they don’t understand people that are different than them--which translate into trans and gay Black people still being murdered in 2020.
