Orlando's black LGBTQ people get left out in the cold

Image
To many people it seemed the entire Orlando community wrapped its arms around the LGBTQ community after last year’s Pulse Massacre. Not so, said Pastor Brei Taylor who ministers to LGBTQ people of color. She, and members of her flock at Orlando OASIS Community Outreach, said they are not warmly embraced by the black community or the white LGBTQ community. Pastor Brei said it’s good to see all the Orlando Strong signs and banners. The pastor and her congregation – who fellowship at a building on the North Orange Blossom Trail, wish the black community and black ministers would open their hearts with love and acceptance.
