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

Our core issues are at a make-or-break moment, and we need solutions bold enough to meet our greatest challenges and big enough to bring world leaders and all of us to get it done.

As a collective, GBGMC fosters an activist-led movement with the goal of building 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 intervene on human rights issues surrounding mental and physical health, police brutality, immigration, and general well being.

To participate in movement building is to be hopeful. We want to bring a message of hope to more places — on the ground, online, over the air. Where there are Black gay men on this planet, this movement will go. We’ll bring a message of hope. We’ll take with us a vision that sets out to solve our greatest problems with new ideas, one’s bold enough to meet our challenges and big enough to bring people together to get them done. To do all this, it’s critical we meet the goals we set for ourselves. We need to hope, yes, but also do the work of bringing those hopes to life. With your support, we know we can do this.
