Aligning with a broader anti-racist movement, many people of color in the LGBT community point out the trickiness of their work: Racism can be subtle, even invisible, to all but those who it’s directed at – and sometimes even to them. Racism can be in the attitudes of partners, acquaintances and friends. It can be in people of your own race. The challenge of drawing awareness to racism where it exists within the LGBT community itself is steep.
The statewide LGBT advocacy organization has now created three “Alliance Building Caucuses” to address the issues brought forward by the community feedback: the People of Color caucus for LGBT people of color, the White Allies for Racial Justice caucus for white LGBT people committed to ending racism, and recently, the Trans* caucus for those not identifying as cisgender or gender-conforming.
