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

Senate Blocks Four Gun Control Measures One Week After Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History

Senate Blocks Four Gun Control Measures One Week After Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History

Chris Murphy

Republicans in the Senate blocked four gun control measures today, just one week after the deadliest shooting in U.S. history and Senator Chris Murphy said he wasn’t surprised, acknowledging that “the NRA has a vice=like grip on this place.”

One pair of measures was on background checks, the others blocking individuals tied to terror watch lists.

The votes came after a 15-hour filibuster which ended last Thursday with Republicans agreeing to votes on the measures.

Watch the votes and Murphys reaction:
