Check out the message Beyoncé shared from a sign held up by trans drag artist CandacePersuasion during a recent show.
from Candace Persuasian, a Boston-based trans drag performer, who filmed Bey toward the end of her final show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. In the clip, Beyoncé floats above the crowd as “Summer Renaissance” plays in the background, thanking fans for a great show. She looks down toward Persuasian, and reads out the sign she is holding up: “Trans is beautiful,” Bey declared.
Writing about the clip, Cox reflected on her own journey with the now-popular phrase of support for the trans community. “I started the Hashingin 2015 to empower trans and nonbinary people to see our beauty beyond cisnormative beauty standards,” Cox wrote. “This wasn’t about me. This was and is for the people. Seeing it empower trans folks globally to embrace our special, anointed beauty lights me up on the inside.
Cox continued, writing that it meant something much different to see a star of Bey’s caliber spreading that message. “But hearing @Beyonce proclaim this trans affirming message, I don’t have words. I may have cried a little,” she wrote. “Thank you @candacepersuasian for evoking this beautiful moment with your sign. Trans is indeed so beautiful.”
It’s certainly not the first time the Beyoncé has been recognized for her allyship toward the LGBTQ community. Back in 2019, she and Jay-Z were both for their outspoken support of the LGBTQ+ community, where Bey declared in her speech that “LGBTQI rights are human rights. To choose who you love is your human right. How you identify and see yourself is your human right.”
