The 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' star made his relationship with actor Nicholas Ashe Instagram official! (viatoofab)
"@nckash and I protested today in New Orleans," the 24-year-old actor began."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." Smith then highlighted Tony McDade, a 38-year-old transgender person who was shot and killed by police in May, but the case has not been as high-profile as Floyd's or Ahmaud Arbery's. "If your revolution is okay with letting black trans people like #TonyMcDade slip through the cracks in order to solely liberate black cishet men, it is anti-black," he wrote."You are trying to push yourself through the door of a system designed against you, and then shut the door behind you. It is in our conditioning to get as close to whiteness, straightness, maleness as we can because that’s where the power is.
