"A Black drag queen has launched a movement to improve the lives of queer people of colour in Cambridge after they were subjected to racial abuse. In November, drag performer Guillotina, who is queer, claimed they were racially abused by a group of young people who called them the N-word. They reported the incident to police, and shared the ordeal on Instagram in a post that went viral."
"The 24-year-old took to Instagram on Monday (5 January) to announce the launch of their movement. They captioned the post: "Cambridge Is Chopped is a movement focusing on improving the quality of life for Queer people of colour (QPOC) that live, work and study in Cambridge. "The aim is to amplify experiences and the effects of racism, hold spaces accountable for their complacency in addressing racism, and to create events for QPOCs in Cambridge.""
A Black drag performer named Guillotina said they were racially abused in Cambridge in November when a group of young people called them the N-word. They reported the incident to police, which closed the case pending further evidence and identified no suspect. In response, Guillotina launched a movement called Cambridge Is Chopped to improve life for queer people of colour in Cambridge. The movement will begin in February focusing on collecting and amplifying experiences of racism, holding spaces accountable for complacency, and creating events for QPOCs. Guillotina urged people to speak out, stand up, and come together.
