I hope they found they’re peace wherever and whenever it presented itself(!) 🌞🌞🌞🙏🏿

0:36 It’s a bit strange to declare that non black people have no empathy for the gay men and women of the black community simply because there’s no black gay person over the phone It would have been better if she said it would have been more benefitting if those groups were to expand in diversity due to cultural differences regarding coming out as gay since some peoples coming out experienced can be different

I was 20 in 1980, so a similar age (white south wales) and I often wonder where these lovely people are now? they's only be 60+

Gays The Word is still there. Still providing a valuable service to the community.

[@solemandd67]

This was fascinating!

To the bbbm (big,black,beautiful, men)! You are exotic amoung other attributes 😊❤❤❤ my husband' is a bbbm, proudly married 15 years❤❤❤😊

[@the1blkman]

I'm so happily amazed by how over there all of those different people of color consider themselves Black! It's beautiful to see ❤

[@Janice360]

No, it's not beautiful. You're only saying that because you're insecure about being Black, so non-Black POC saying that they are Black makes you feel better about yourself.

Who cares what colour.... Love is Love

[@simoxeh]

Because we have color and that determines how people treat us in the world and what culture it comes from. It's this attitude of who cares about color that prevents those who life is different because of their color getting actual improvements because you assume they have the same issues your color have when that isn't true. It's like your downplaying our issues because they aren't your issues.

[@deeliveshere]

You sound stupid.

[@jesusnodal8948]

A wonderful find about real life!!! All lives matter to this day.

[@mimi5769]

This is fantastic

I wish they could read Books by E. Lynn Harris (RIP) and his Colleague James Earl Hardy. They write books about Black Gay Men. E. Lynn's main Protagonist is Raymond Winston Tyler Jr., who in his Senior Year In College fell in love with another Man named Kelvin Ellis who was starting as a Freshman. He also has a Cat/Mouse Relationship with John "Basil" Henderson a Closeted US Football Player. James Earl Hardy's Books are about The Gay Flavor in a Hip Hop Enviroment where 27 Year Old Mitchell Crawford a Buppie (College Educated Black Professional) meets a 21 Year Old named Raheim Erroll Rivers who is a Jack Of All Trades who works as a Bicycle Messenger.

Repent

[@sds2954]

Focus on your own sin and repent

[@melaninproud2383]

@@sds2954 God wants all of us to repent so what is your point in saying that ?

[@sds2954]

@melaninproud2383 exactly. You were preaching to whomever (i presume the main character in the video) telling him/them to repent. I was just reminding you to make sure you do to. We should all be repenting daily for our own sins

[@melaninproud2383]

@@sds2954 thank you for reminding me. Yes we all need to repent. God Bless us all

You’re the sinner
