Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Detective Pikachu actor Justice Smith has come out as queer on Instagram while addressing the Black Lives Matter movement.
Smith, 24, shared the powerful statement featuring photos with the actor Nicholas L Ashe, who is best known for Queen Sugar.
He announced the news that they are a couple.

Weighing in on queer and trans inclusion, Justice continued: โI want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black. 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.
โYou 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 thatโs where the power is. And if we appeal to it, maybe itโll give us a slice.โ
โWe chanted โBlack Trans Lives Matter,โ โBlack Queer Lives Matter,โ โAll Black Lives Matterโ,โ he told his followers.

โAs 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.โ
Justice then exclaimed his love for Nicholas: โYouโve been my rock and guiding light through all of this and I love you so much.โ
Smith called upon people to โinclude Black Queer voicesโ in their โrevolution.โ

โIf your revolution is okay with letting black trans people like Tony McDade slip through the cracks in order to solely liberate black cishet men, it is anti-black,โ he said.
African American transgender McDade was was fatally shot by an officer of the Tallahassee Police Department on 27 May 2020.
Smith was most recently seen in Netflix film All the Bright Places, and will return in sequel Jurassic World: Dominion.
