Black Gay Weddings (BGW) is dedicated to celebrating, uplifting, and increasing the visibility of LGBTQIA+ people of color in love and marriage. Through our media platforms—including Black Gay Love, On The List, BGWElevate Magazine, and The LGBTQBizList—we provide authentic representation, empowering couples, vendors, and allies to share their stories, connect with community, and thrive. Our mission is to foster a world where love is seen, valued, and celebrated in all its beautiful diversity.
Black Gay Weddings has become a leading voice in showcasing LGBTQIA+ love stories, reaching over 3.2 million unique accounts per month and engaging an audience of over 388,000 followers across our platforms. By spotlighting Black and Brown LGBTQIA+ couples, we combat underrepresentation in mainstream wedding media and create spaces where love and commitment are celebrated without compromise.
Through The LGBTQBizList, we connect LGBTQIA+ couples with affirming wedding professionals, ensuring they receive the respect and inclusivity they deserve. Our Legacy of Love Initiative ties together our work in media, business empowerment, and philanthropy, strengthening the fabric of our community.
From viral wedding celebrations to exclusive interviews with trailblazing couples and businesses, Black Gay Weddings is more than a platform—it’s a movement, ensuring that our love stories are told with the dignity, joy, and brilliance they deserve.
