I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is
I don’t know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I’m like a bird
I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is
I don’t know where my home is
And I need for you to know

Thousands same-sex marriage advocates held a sit-in outside the Legislature on Monday to support the last public hearing before a legislative committee proceeds with the second reading of a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage.
支持婚姻平權的民眾與同志團體，今天包圍立法院，高喊民進黨踹共，要求蔡英文總統兌現選前承諾。
立法院今天舉行同性婚姻法制化公聽會，挺同團體在院外青島東路側發起「相挺為平權，全民撐同志」公聽會直播，一早湧入上萬人，他們高舉「民進黨踹共，別當護家盟」、「人權不能打折，平權不要專法」等標語，訴求直接修民法，還有人喊「蔡英文下台」。
立法院司法及法制委員會上午舉行第二場「同性婚姻法制化」公聽會，歌手張懸、電影監製李烈名列在推薦名單中下午出席公聽會引發媒體關注。
網友也因柯建銘稱要另立專法，在台灣連署資源運籌平台發起罷免柯建銘，兩天已逾8千人連署。網友指出，若同婚法沒過，以後拒投民進黨。

This week on #LimitlessAfricans, we will be doing something a bit different and exploring photographically what LGBTQ African community means and the importance of having that support network.
For me personally, I grew up feeling like I was totally alone and that I was the only LGBTQ African person out there. Now- after doing this work for 3 years now – that seems ridiculous, but as a teenage queer nigerian kid in Pittsburgh, PA- how was I to know better? And I didn’t know how much it hurt feeling like I was the only one until I saw how relieved I felt when I met other people like me and built that community (first virtually and then in person – s/o to @odera my first queer african friend <3). Meeting other LGBTQ Africans validated my identity as a queer African person in such a powerful way, in the face of a world that told me that I could not and should not exist. That I was “un-African,” deficient for not being white, femme and inherently invaluable as such and more.
Finding and building that community of LGBTQ Africans is part of the reason that I started #LimitlessAfricans, and it’s been incredible – to say the least – going from knowing ZERO other LGBTQ Africans in my early teens to now knowing dozens. <3. And getting to share all of these amazing people’s stories on www.limitlessafricans.com so that other people who might feel like they’re the only ones (like I did) realize that we’re not alone
It was such a pleasure to photograph Sizwe – Queer Burundian Person- and Kim – Trans Burundian Woman – both separately and together this summer and explore what LGBTQ African Friendship and Community looks like and the impact it has on our lives. Will be sharing their group photos over the course of the week, and you can check out their full individual interviews below as well:

About Limit(less)
Limit(less) is a photography project by Mikael Owunna (@owning-my-truth) documenting the fashion and style of LGBTQ African Immigrants (1st and 2nd generation) in diaspora. As LGBTQ Africans, we are constantly told that being LGBTQ is somehow “un-African,” and this rhetoric is a regular part of homophobic and transphobic discourse in African communities. This line of thinking, however, is patently false and exists an artifact of colonization of the African continent. Identities which would now be categorized as “LGBTQ” have always existed, and being LGBTQ does not make us “less” African.
Limit(less) explores how LGBTQ African immigrants navigate their identities and find ways to overcome the supposed “tension” between their LGBTQ and African identities through their fashion and style. The project seeks to visually deconstruct the colonial binary that has been set up between LGBTQ and African identities, which erases the lives and experiences of LGBTQ Africans. #LimitlessAfricans
