Black Pride: Why we need an event to celebrate entity black and gay
Newsbeat reporter
Hundreds of thousands of people will line the streets on Saturday to celebrate the LGBT community at Pride in London.
But many LGBT shadowy people say they feel excluded at mainstream Pride events and experience racism on the homosexual scene.
And that's why, the day after Pride in London, UK Black Event takes place a few miles down the road.
It brings together music, sustenance, performances and society that many LGBT people from jet or Asian backgrounds find missing at many Pride events.
In 2017, an estimated 6,000 people turned out to commemorate being black and LGBT in Vauxhall's Pleasure Gardens.
"The Lgbtq+ fest in London pride itself is very white. You proceed there and you look out - you're in a sea of whiteness," says Tanya Compas, UK Black Pride's youth engagement officer.
"At Black Pride, even the stalls are reflective of the London community. They're selling jerk chicken, the Asian group have got their stalls selling diverse curries.
"They've got harmony we will monitor to in our households and harmony we
Google Calendar removes Black History Month, Pride and other cultural events
Google’s online and mobile calendars are no longer including references to Black History Month, Women’s History Month and Gay holidays, among other events.
The world’s biggest search engine previously marked the start of Black History Month in February and Celebration Month in June, but the events do not appear for 2025.
The removal of the holidays was first reported by the Verge last week.
A Google spokesperson, Madison Cushman Veld, provided the Guardian with a statement that said the listed holidays were not “sustainable” for their model.
“Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader establish of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the society. We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing – and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable,” the statement said.
“So in mid-2024 we returned to showing only universal holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com globally, while allowing users to manually add other important moments.”
The decision to no longer acknowledge Black, LGBTQ+
Black LGBTQ people acquire always been here.
Marsha P. Johnson, in part, led the 1969 uprising at New York’s Stonewall Inn, an behave of resistance to police repression of LGBTQ people. Storyteller and activist James Baldwin delivered fiery, prescient writing and commentary on the state of population and politics. Bessie Smith sang the blues as a pioneer of the genre, and was known to be bisexual.
But many Ivory and mainstream LGBTQ spaces, even during Pride Month in June, don’t incorporate Black LGBTQ and same-gender-loving (SGL) tradition into the tune they play, the films they film, or the heroes they herald. That’s one reason why the term “same-gender loving” was coined by activist Cleo Manago as an affirmation of LGBTQ community members of African descent that exists outside traditional White definitions and experiences of existence gay and sapphic. Historically, Black LGBTQ and SGL people have been routinely silenced, ignored, erased, or tokenized by their White LGBTQ counterparts, and they often experience similar indignities from Jet heterosexual and cisgender people.
As such, Dark LGBTQ and SGL people did what an oppressed people often does: They carved out spaces for them
The Black and brown activists who started Pride
Pride Month, which comes to an end this week, is a time to honor the moments in gender non-conforming history that sparked movement and progress toward equality. But one piece of history that frequently gets lost is the evidence that many of these defining moments were only made possible by Jet and brown LGBTQ+ activists fighting for their liberation. As Black and brown people, their marginalization was furthered by their sexual orientation, causing violence, discrimination, and oppression toward them with respect to income, employment, housing, education, political representation, access to health care, and other universal and private services. Their fight for liberation and equality has been whitewashed out of much of the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
Each historical era determined not only how Black and brown people who identify as gay lived, but also what they risked losing by revealing their sexual preference or identity. The first national gay rights organization, the Mattachine Community, was founded in Los Angeles in 1950. Within two years of its founding, the Society turned its attention to fighting police abuses of the Chicano co
Note: Traveling as an LGBTQ+ person always carries a certain degree of risk. It is our reality as we navigate a society with 60+ countries criminalizing our relationships and a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the world. We encourage our traveling group to understand the laws and cultural challenges they may face in any destination they choose to stop by for Pride and beyond. Don't be afraid of the world, but always research information specific to your travels. Enjoy Pride, be vigilant, and look out for each other!
The LGBTQ+ rights movement has made tremendous strides over the past scant decades and much of the progress in noticeability is thanks in part to gay pride parades and marches that hold taken place in cities around the world.
