Black gay bars are closing while everybody profits off Black queer culture. Ballroom gets copied, our slang gets recycled, our aesthetics get monetized, & suddenly non-Black people are the face of “Black gay” events.
How do u consume the culture but erase the people who built it?
DC Black Pride looked like it was full of fun, drama, and lots of hooking up. 😜
Now that you’re back home, it’s time to go get tested for HIV & STIs.
Whether you had one hookup or a whole weekend roster, knowing your status is sexy, responsible, and part of taking care of yourself.
So, do the right thing! ❤️🤗😈
So many black queer folks have been lied to about how “messy, nasty and weird” queer (and especially black queer) events and functions are, when actually it’s such a breathe of fresh air to be around your people and to be loved on.
I hope more queer folks start seeing this.
