This conversation explores the politics of the Black Queer Body within the tensions of the law, justice, and equity. The panel will discuss legal reimaginings that navigate the complexity of the law for and against Black Queer culture while balancing a legal thin-line of cultural erasure, assimilation, and integration for the sake of socio-political normalization. Emphasizing the cause and effect of gender and sexuality of the Black Queer community, this dialogue seeks to examine the unique space that Black Queer folk occupy within a white cis-heteronormative society.
