Good video, it's hard to participate in pride when you don't feel welcome, when you go to the gay bars I've noticed there's not a lot of race mixing, people tend to hang out with their own ethnic groups, sure we laugh and talk with everyone but at the end of the day it's best not to try and find romance outside of your own race, that's why I don't go to pride at all, I hangout with friends not a pride parade

I think Black pride is very important because lgbt people of color are basically ignored and over looked when everything is no blacks and no asians. so you have black pride to celebrate ourselves we have to

[vashnanerada]

I can understand why pride matters but why a black pride. That seems to be segregating..?

'Black Pride', this a joke? How about everyone celebrates 'Pride' to stop separating people and discrimination in Colour.
