Black LGBTQ Pride

Black LGBTQ Pride, which began with D.C. Black Pride in 1991, is a movement that creates space for Black LGBTQ+ people to have an alternative to the white, mainstream LGBTQ+ movement that often invisibilizes them. Black LGBTQ Pride emphasizes the intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality. It serves as a space for Black LGBTQ+ people to celebrate and build community with people who look like them and have similar experiences.
