Building LGBTQ+ Activism Panel—NYC Pride's Human Rights Conference 2019

  • New York Law School 185 West Broadway New York, NY, 10013 United States (map)

Despite great strides to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, queer/trans-Caribbeans of color continue to be policed and cast as “invisible” and “inauthentic” citizens in the region. Heteronormative logics situate how queer Caribbeans’ struggle to negotiate their identities, struggling to be seen as “proper” Caribbean subjects. This panel will offer a discussion of the critical LGBTQ+ political alliances and solidarity work being performed within, between, and across the Caribbean region and its diasporas, exploring important coalition-building efforts to bring about much-needed social change.
