The article addresses the complexities of support within the LGBTQ+ community following the murder of Sam Nordquist, a trans man. It emphasizes that although events like Pride might foster a sense of belonging, many trans individuals experience internalized transphobia, leading to feelings of isolation and danger, even from those they consider part of their community. This duality raises awareness about the hidden struggles faced by trans individuals and the pressing need for solidarity and understanding among all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Sometimes, it's nice to believe the Pride, with its music and floats, makes us all feel warm and welcomed. But the truth? There's a trap door, and too many trans folks have fallen through it.
