As the group filled their car, they played Beyoncé’s “Rennaissance” album. Joyously, Sibley began to vogue. That’s when a group of men approached the friends yelling homophobic and anti-Black slurs, and one fatally stabbed Sibley in what is now being charged as a hate crime. On Friday, hundreds of New Yorkers gathered at that same gas station to mourn the death and celebrate the life of O’Shae Sibley, a talented choreographer and beloved member of New York’s ballroom community. Led by Qween Jean (@qweenjean) and Gia Love (@therealgialove) of @blacktransliberation, they chanted, demanded justice for Sibley, and danced in his name. “Queer and trans people, and especially Black and brown queer and trans people, exist in a world where hate can cost them their lives,” Qween Jean told Vogue after the event, adding: “[Sibley’s assailant] killed a powerful and monumental figure in this community, but now O’Shae is being immortalized as an icon and we will continue to honor the legacy of dance that they inspired us with. Beyoncé said it herself—‘You cannot break my soul’—and O’Shea’s soul will live on in all of us.” Memorial organized by @qween_jean @blacktransliberation @destinationtomorrow452, @ballroomwecare, @houselivesmatter @newprideagenda Photos by Diana Sinclair @dianasinclair」8月8日 23時57分
