Proof #QPOCVisibilityDay Was Absolutely Lit

Queer people of all shades and identities showed off their brilliance this past Sunday as part of a social media initiative called #QPOCVisibilityDay, a whole day used to throw a flawless wrench into all of the erasure that tends to happen on a daily basis.

From microaggressions to systemic discrimination, it's real out here for queer folks of color. Just showing up in your full glory and being celebrated is important, and that's exactly what folks did...

Cass got the ball rolling about a week before.
