As a continuation of our Pride Month Special where we highlight some important work by Queer black people, we will be focusing on the Queer Vloggers. Through their youtube vlogs, these voices have taken us on a journey through their lives, their experiences, and their queerness.
Here is a list of Black LGBT Vlogs that you should add to your YouTube watch playlist.

They also focus on how couples found (and continue to find) comfort and love in each other, how they dealt (and still deal) with homophobia, family dynamics, infidelity, distance, etc.
