“Black gay love is a love built on standards and values that are not influenced, shaped, or relegated by societal norms and perspectives. This particular love does not have to fit anyone else’s expectations to be authentic and meaningful. We are able to celebrate our Blackness, beauty, love, and lifelong commitment to each other without subjection or fear of bigotry.”
