Queer Liberation in 60 Seconds | Annika Gelber | TEDxRansomEvergladesSchool

TikTok, a popular social media app, has become something more than just a place for trendy dances and funny videos. It has helped the queer community to connect on an international level. Annika Gelber explains the history of queer communities and how they have connected in the past, and how they are connecting now. Tik Tok and social media, in general, have been able to connect the queer community, which isn’t connected geographically like Black or Latino communities. Social media has allowed the queer community to be more cohesive and emerge as a more intertwined group of people. From the early gay rights protests in the 1950s to protests in Florida about the "Don’t Say Gay" Bill, social media has changed and will continue to change how the queer community is able to lead themselves to liberation through a more cohesive organization. Annika Gelber is a junior at Ransom Everglades school. She plays varsity volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse, and is a member of the school newspaper, the Catalyst, and the Women’s Empowerment Club. When she isn’t working out or doing homework, she loves thrifting and antiquing, hanging out with friends, and going to the beach. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
