While Anora may have won big last night, it’s important to remember that Hollywood notoriously misses the mark when it comes to the complexity of the sex trade, and this movie is no exception.

You cannot erase us. While our numbers reflect that 51% of our youth identify as LGBTQ+, we know this shows us only a portion of the whole and that there are many more youth that are unseen and will continue to be hidden due to the amplified attacks on their identity. At My Life My Choice, we will never shy away from discussing the homophobia, transphobia, and compounding racism that puts young people at risk and will always fight for youth of all genders to ensure that they are seen and supported. https://lnkd.in/e5uuRqPy
