Queer Culture and Queer Language, Labels: Influence of AAVE and Ebonics in our Queer Language

Join us for a Black History Month discussion on queer language and the foundational role of Black queer communities in shaping LGBTQ+ slang through AAVE and Ebonics. We’ll explore the cultural and historical roots of commonly used terms, how language moves across communities, and why honoring Black queer linguistic contributions matters. This meeting centers Black queer identity, respect, and the power of language as history, resistance, and community.
