The protest against the death of George Floyd raised all the stakes, including black people and other communities. The good thing about this protest is it is based on the inclusiveness, including the white and LGBTQ community as well.
Talking about the LGBTQ family, we have been exploring the high-profiled celebs' secret about sexuality.
Previously, we saw Lili Reinhart advocating the #BlackLivesMatter campaign by announcing herself as a lesbian. And the time has come to admit for the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom actor, Justice Smith.
Justice Smith came out with a revelation about his sexuality through a strong advocating message on his Instagram on 6 June 2020. He announced himself as a queer after he posted a video that featured the protest in New Orleans for the racial equality and ending police brutality concerning the death of George Floyd.

Justice started his message, where he announced his sexuality as a queer. He wrote:
"We chanted 'Black Trans Lives Matter,' 'Black Queer Lives Matter,' 'All Black Lives Matter'. As a black queer man myself, I was disappointed to see certain people eager to say Black Lives Matter, but hold their tongue when Trans/Queer was added."
"I want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black."
Justice then addressed the 38-year-old transgender person, Tony McDade, who died after police shots fired at him in May 2020. Nevertheless, the case of Tony is not highlighted as George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery.
Along with that, Justice made an important notation on his caption. He mentioned that the revolution would not be the change agent if it lets black trans people like Tony McDade liberate black cishet men. He also referred to it as 'anti-black' movement. With such revolutions, the only thing that we do is push ourselves through the door of a system designed against us.
Moreover, he dropped down a philosophical view:
"If we appeal to it, maybe it'll give us a slice.," he continued. "But the revolution is not about appeal. It is about demanding what should have been given to us from the beginning. What should have been given to black, queer, and trans individuals from the beginning."
"Which is the right to exist. To live and prosper in public. Without fear of persecution or threat of violence."
With all that being said, Justice's latest revelation has left his fans shocked about his sexuality. Nevertheless, his bold advocate for the justice of all groups and the community is a mantra of equality.
