Where Do Trans Men Fit in Gay Pride?

Dear Black Gay Men Podcast

About

When I walk into any pride celebration, there are a couple things that connect me and most of the men present. Number 1: we’re all men and Number 2: we’re attracted to men. But what happens when only one of those apply to all of us and how do we create pride celebrations that affirm all of our experiences.

So tonight I’m joined by A’Jay Love. He’s a trans masc creator who gained prominence when he was highlighted on Truly’s “My Extraordinary Family” where he shared his parenting journey as a man of trans experience.
