Ericka Hart and Ebony Donnley

They write: /international-gay-dating.html

Body positivity activist, intercourse educator, and breast malignant tumors survivor Ericka Hart in addition to their lover, sound engineer and publisher, Ebony “Eb” Donnley will be the exemplifications of #BlackQueerLoveGoals. On both Ericka’s
Instagram
as well as in their unique everyday lives, these are typically committed both to their healthier and evolving relationship to each other in addition to to a bevy of personal fairness projects and causes. Whether they basically sharing their unique viewpoints and life on Ericka’s Instagram or truly calling out the expanding corporatization and complicity of
Afropunk
, they have been a couple that stands up for your liberties of Ebony people and it is an energy is reckoned with. Having first-gotten collectively after meeting on Tinder and deciding to go on a night out together in Brooklyn, they’ve been collectively for longer than 24 months. The care and fuel between the two is indeed palpable, beautiful, and exclusively Ebony in every thing they actually do. Stated Ericka Hart of Eb in an intimate Youtube video clip the Skin Deep, “You [Ebony] intend to reach every dark person who the thing is that, and therefore motivates me.”

Camae Ayewa (of Moor Mummy) and Rasheedah Phillips

If you have ever seen
Moor Mommy
stay or attended an exhibition or performance of
Dark Quantum Futurism
, their own continuous interdiciplinary archive and gratification project and their companion
Rasheedah Phillips
, you understand that both of these black colored folks are insanely smart and badass af. That they are low-key an art scholar power pair simply increases the contagion of goosebumps which can be introduced whenever one is within 50 legs ones. There’s something truly inspiring about one or two that mixes
art, songs, existence, and activism
in as poignant and complex an easy method as both
Moor Mom
and
Rasheedah Phillips
carry out in their tasks together. Though they usually have a multitude of
events and exhibitions
happening round the same time (#busy) & though their own imaginative rehearse literally blows my small brainwaves into a aspect (#NonLinearTime #BlackFuturism ##DifferentDimensions), when you get a chance to actually interact with them at a performance or occasion, they have the ability to be really down to earth and, dare we state, über chill. Plus, they can be

is similar to Neil Degrass Tyson for queer intellectuals *curtsies and coyly kisses my ring*. Thus, ya learn, énchante, as they say. *guzzles no-cost art gallery drink while stealing handfuls of hors devours; chacuterie and crudités*

Lena Waithe and Alana Mayo

Every person requires someone to keep all of them down and keep them grounded, especially if you’re a total superstar from inside the community vision for making wonderful content—and specifically if you are as incontestably perfect as Lena Waithe. Well, sorry entire market, but Lena Waithe currently features that role within her existence loaded, and I also doubt you could potentially compete with Alana Mayo, in all honesty. In a job interview about David Chang Show, Waithe said that whenever she arrived residence through the Emmys, Mayo reminded this lady to-do some duties around the house. “The great thing is actually, she’s not jazzed by it,” Waithe mentioned. “She definitely keeps me grounded… whenever I get back home from winning an Emmy, she’s like, ‘Don’t forget about to obtain the recycling cleanup.’ It’s those ideas that In my opinion are really useful. She’s very casual regarding it all.” The love, my buddies, is actually genuine. #RealLove #BlackQueerLoveGoals

Janelle Monae and Tessa Thompson

Certainly, this couple is actually lovable for words. Without a doubt, I want to merely suggest that they are literally black colored quality by squealing and flapping my hands: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH! THEY’RE therefore CUUUUUTE! *gasps in Ebony child gay* *collects self in dark queer opulence*

okay. So their particular Instagram flirt tale, in conjunction with Janelle Monae’s remarkable sonic movie for

Dirty Computer

that informs a quasi-fiction sci-fi about them being enthusiasts in an afro-futurist culture before a purge of queer android consciousness, is close to continuously #BlackQueerLoveGoals to keep. But We’ll keep it. Now that they will have come-out as companions (nonetheless controlled they’ve been in announcing it on the mass media), it’s so much easier to simply completely fan-femme out and obsessively like all their images.

Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols

We all know that Queen Latifah just isn’t incredibly forthcoming when it comes to rumors about the woman lesbianism or her longtime gf, Eboni Nichols. In a world that nevertheless can make becoming queer in public areas a tough and complex action to take, totally developing a rainbow banner (making use of the black colored and brown stripe) in one single hand—and the trans banner from inside the other—isn’t truly for everybody. That said, hearsay currently circulating since last October that they are involved and having their own very first kid. It’s hard to confirm via their unique social media marketing, either toward contrary or affirmative, however, if it is real, it really is most likely that they’ve already welcomed slightly any in to the globe. So… congrats?!

Anyway, the very concept of these lovers warms all of our hearts at GO. On romantic days celebration, it is stimulating and completely adorable to see these very sweet partners residing their very best existence and adoring the everyday lives they stay. Thus GO out! Allow #BlackQueerLove end up being your guide this Valentine’s season! It can be done! I am aware it is possible to! *wink*
