Why Do Labels Need to Define One of the Deepest Emotions on the Planet? With B Proud

Queer We Are

Picture a world where love transcends barriers, prejudice, and misunderstanding; that's the world seen through B Proud's lens. Guest, photographer B Proud, transports us into the heart of the LGBTQ community with her powerful and evocative images. She shares insights into her captivating projects, such as her 2014 book featuring black and white photographs of LGBTQ couples and her current visually stunning exhibit, the Transcending Love Project, celebrating transgender and gender nonconforming couples and families in vibrant color.
B Proud unearths the complexity of the transgender experience. With her Transcending Love Project, B Proud encapsulates the diversity, beauty, and resilience within the community. We delve into the creative process, the stories, and the significance of the project.
Together, we navigate the evolution of LGBTQ+ rights and representation as seen through B Proud's lens. We use the backdrop of her work to touch upon the landmark case of Edith Windsor, whose fight for love laid the groundwork for the Obergefell decision on marriage equality. It's not just a conversation about her photographs; it's a conversation about the message they carry, the progress that's been made, and the importance of keeping the dialogue alive. Join us, as we celebrate love, equality, and representation with B Proud.
