Webinar originally aired 8/7/2020

Confronting this country’s history of racism, and reckoning with its manifestation in the present is, in itself, a daunting task. Black LGBTQ individuals have to carry the burden and work of navigating a racist society, and also contend with transphobic and homophobic violence. This societal syndemic shows up in all facets of life, and even within the LGBTQ community itself.

While we are seeing uprisings, and revolutionary push back against a system of oppression that is integral to how this country operates. Black LGBTQ citizens are pushing to broaden the dialogue to explicitly include their narratives and voices.

7 yrs later I finally asked my other half to Marry Me!!!



Song that was played was not my song it was a song by Rum.Gold call it what you want

Love is in the air, and these LGBTQ couples are ready to find out how much they truly know about each other.

Trey just wanted his mom to love him. After a short stint in juvi Trey finds himself free from the woman and joining a new family. But sometimes – family ain’t family - and Trey finds himself struggling when it comes to his attraction for the brash but charming golden boy of his new family - Rel. Trey isn’t the only one left scarred by his relationship with his mother – we also meet Deon the black sheep cousin of Trey’s new family.

Description in process..✨

Btw if the whole story line where he explains "Brooky" and "Gemz" I'll be explaining that in the next episode in the description, because I feel like it wasn't really well explained so I apologise :'D

also someone said that the character with the blue hair looked like "Rin" from an anime series and I looked that character up and oh gosh they looked similar, but I swear I'm not trying to copy any characters, and I didn't even know that anime since I don't watch anime that much and yeah, please don't attack me "you copied a character from an anime series" because I didn't know that anime and yeah (╥﹏╥)

but anyways, I might delete this description when I make my new one because I want to give credit to the music and the storyline of "Brooky" and stuff and yeah

Welcome to Adagion Studio's YouTube Channel.

In this heartwarming and infinitely inspiring video, you'll see how Dev proposed to Jason in the most touching Gay Marriage Proposal ever captured on film in Paris.

Follow Jason & Deve as they explore the City of Lights & Love together—including ...
— getting ready at the iconic Fouquets Hotel on the Champs-Elysées;
— enjoying the sunrise at Trocadéro, which offers the most popular view of the Eiffel Tower;
— commissioning a fabulous caricature at Montmartre, a quintessential Parisian artistic quarter with the most expansive views of the City;
— dancing playfully at Palais Royal and the Louvre Museum—two of the most instantly recognizable spots in Paris;
— an eye-dropping Champagne pop in front of cheering crowds at the sexy Moulin Rouge;
— cruising around town in a hot green McLaren;
... and above all, an interview to inspire other gay couples to have the courage to be openly gay.

Yet, pulling off a fairytale marriage proposal in any foreign country/city—notably in Paris—takes real insider knowledge, preparation, and effort.

That's why Paris proposal expert, Cengiz from Adagion Studio, created two of the most popular proposal guides on the internet, including a Paris-specific proposal guide (see links below). You'll learn how to propose like a Rockstar, the prettiest places to propose in Paris, how to keep the ring a surprise, which knee and finger, when to propose in order to avoid crowds, how to enlist the most experienced vendors (violinist, photographer, videographer, florist, luxury car) in Paris, and much more.

Often in transit, Cengiz is fortunate to photograph some of the most fabulous events around the globe. His approach to documenting extraordinary weddings emphasizes professional discretion, confidence, and boundless passion with the goal of supporting the flow of your celebrations and telling your story as it naturally unfolds. Recent weddings include those of Princess Ameerah al-Taweel, Chinese Actress Liu Xiaoqing, billionaires Ralph Dommermuth, Stuart A. Miller (Brad), Khalifa Bin Butti Al Muhairi, and those of a host of other larger-than-life personalities. His photographs have been featured on CNN, ESPN, TIME, People, E!, ABC News, ET, The Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, Vogue, Tatler, and a host of today’s most popular bridal publications.

Cengiz is profoundly inspired by advertising but also draws creativity from cinema, art, and the lively streets of Paris and The Big Apple. Our services include proposals, engagements, weddings, boudoir, honeymoon, and anniversaries.

Adagion Studio is considered the world-authority in luxury proposals and has published two of the most popular online guides:

Facing the throwaway comment that “you can’t be black and queer”, Suriya Aisha, creator of social support network UNMUTED, saw nobody visibly living in the intersection that she found herself in. So she made a choice, for a while. In this talk she examines how our culture interacts with our identity, and how we can create spaces for people to bring 100% of themselves to the table; allowing them to become whole again.

Suriya Aisha is a writer, theatre maker, workshop facilitator and creative producer who is passionate about equal opportunities and representation. Her ongoing project STAMP works with young people with additional needs in partnership with the Next Generation team at mac birmingham. She has also launched a peer and social support network - UNMUTED, for young people of colour who identify as LGBTQI. She has performed alongside Meera Syal at Theatre Royal Stratford East and previously featured as part of the ‘Late at Tate’ exhibition ‘Visibly, Invisible’ curated by Saira Awan. As a member of the REP Foundry in 2014, Suriya initiated ‘Dark Room’ - a theatrical exploration of the relationship between culture, gender and mental health, and was recently accepted onto The Royal Court Theatre’s Live Lunch writers programme where she explored themes of culture and family through her play ‘Nine Nights’.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

LGBTQ people face an incarceration rate that is roughly three times higher than the general incarceration rate, according to data compiled by the Williams Institute. And the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey reported that Black transgender women were incarcerated approximately at a rate ten times that of the general population. In the latest episode of #AuthenticVoicesOfPride presented by Chevy, LGBTQ Nation follows Dominique Morgan, the Executive Director of Black and Pink National. She knows these issues on a personal level – and that’s why she’s fighting for her community.

Senior Attorney at Lambda Legal Richard Saenz joins the conversation to discuss how LGBTQ people living with HIV are impacted by the justice system

Chevrolet is matching donations to Lambda Legal up to $25,000. For almost 50 years, Lambda Legal has been a major force in affecting social change through our public policy and impact litigation work on behalf of the LGBTQ community and everyone living with HIV. We are winning new protections for the most vulnerable in our community including people of color, people living with HIV, seniors, trans/GNC people, and youth. We are defending our community from attacks designed to roll back our rights.

It’s estimated that over 30 million people worldwide have died from AIDS-related illnesses over the last 40 years and owing to the heightened risk of infection, the homosexual community has been devastated by a huge number of deaths during this time. Thankfully, due to improved treatment, AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by 60% since 2004.

Regardless of social standing, fame, or wealth, HIV/AIDS has had a tragic effect on communities all over the world. Even though medical treatment has come a long way since the early 80s, we’re yet to see a cure or vaccine emerge so it’s still just as important today as it ever was to continue educating people on the life-changing effects of this virus.

Many famous icons from stage and screen have also fallen victim to the disease over the years, and today we celebrate the lives of 15 gay celebrities who died of AIDS.
