WHO WE ARE – Our Story
Global Black Gay Men Connect
Founded in 2018, Global Black Gay Men Connect is a group of Black, gay, bisexual and same-loving men forming a movement internationally to empower our communities, foster resilience against oppression and initiate an ever-growing platform for our collective voices to be heard.
SINCE 2018
ACROSS THE GLOBE,
WE ARE UNITED IN OUR
DEDICATION TO BLACK LGBT RIGHTS
Our core issues respond to this make-or-break moment and combine solutions that are bold enough to meet our greatest challenges and big enough to bring world leaders and community members together.
GBGMC fosters an activist-led movement that aims to build local power to intervene in discrimination and violence inflicted on Black Gay communities and men―wherever they live. We strive to facilitate intentional involvement by engaging Black gay men across the world and developing the capacity to rapidly respond to human rights issues, threats to mental and physical health, police brutality, immigration, and general well being.
GBGMC is building a movement that centers Black gay male identity and supersedes the limits that have been placed onto Black and LGBTI+ liberation. We believe that in order to succeed, and bring as many people with us, we must identify our collective needs and engage in solutions that affirm our humanity, contributions, and resilience.
OUR MISSION
A global platform that ensures Black Gay Men are empowered to pursue optimal health, upward mobility, and harmonious coexistence.
To build an activist movement of Black Gay Men that is financially-sustainable and equipped to provide equal access to health care, education, and opportunities for economic-prosperity and talent-recognition. Our movement affirms the human rights of all people, while emphasizing Black and Brown LGBTQIA+people.
OUR VISION
A world where all Black Gay Men are free from criminalization, incarceration, killings, and stigma.
GBGMC envisions a world where all Black Gay Men are free from criminalization, incarceration, violence, and stigma―where independent Black gay political power and Black self-determination are recognized in all areas of society.
Our core issues are at a make-or-break moment. We need solutions bold enough to meet our greatest challenges and big enough to bring world leaders and the community together.
