Lizzo Supports Black Trans Women at West Hollywood Pride

Lizzo delivered a powerful and heartfelt speech in support of Black trans women during her headline performance at OUTLOUD's LGBTQIA+ Pride festival in West Hollywood Park. She dedicated her rendition of “Over the Rainbow” to Black trans women and trans women of color, acknowledging their crucial role in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and urging continued resistance against systems threatening bodily autonomy and liberation. Lizzo emphasized that true freedom will not be achieved until all members of the community are free, stating, “We ain’t free till we all free.” Her remarks come amid ongoing federal actions under President Donald Trump's administration aiming to erase trans identities from public records and reduce protections for trans and non-binary people. The singer also highlighted the importance of honoring the activism of Black trans women during Pride Month, reinforcing her ongoing commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy. Lizzo’s appearance and message resonated widely, reflecting both celebration and the ongoing struggle for equality within the community.
