let’s them tell their own story! shows how important community is and how queer culture influenced everything else! talks about chosen families, love through a shared pain, how people don’t have much choice within the system, let this make you emotional, watch this and cry and hurt and be in shock, rewatch this again and again and show everyone you know

PARIS IS BURNING (1990)

black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance.  Paris Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them. this is an essential watch!!!

god i don’t even know where to start. these folk were so free in a time where queerness wasn’t as widely accepted. reminds me to live life to my fullest and be grateful for those who have laid down the groundwork for us to live the way we can now.
