Grateful Valentine’s! I don’t know in regards to you, but I’m filled with the existential dread and anxiety of a thousand unyieldingly uneasy suns.

We at GO have gathered a cute small selection of some extremely fantastic, really lovable partners that individuals believe tend to be #BlackQueerLoveGoals. So it’s time to release all of that fear, consider these sites of empirical fact, and envelop your sensory faculties in fan-queering these beautiful and inspiring Ebony queer-lebrities! You borrowed from it to your self! You happen to be stunning!
Ericka Hart and Ebony Donnley
Body positivity activist, sex educator, and breast disease survivor Ericka Hart and their lover, audio professional and journalist, Ebony “Eb” Donnley include exemplifications of #BlackQueerLoveGoals. On both Ericka’s
Instagram
and in their own schedules, they might be committed both on their healthy and evolving relationship to each other in addition to to a bevy of personal justice jobs and causes. Whether or not they are simply revealing their unique viewpoints and life on Ericka’s Instagram or truly contacting from expanding corporatization and complicity of
Afropunk
, these are typically a couple of that compares your liberties of Ebony folks and is also an energy getting reckoned with. Having first-gotten together after fulfilling on Tinder and choosing to go on a night out together in Brooklyn, they’ve been with each other for longer than 2 years. The attention and power between the two is so palpable, beautiful, and distinctively Black in everything they are doing. Stated Ericka Hart of Eb in a romantic Youtube video clip your Skin Deep, “You [Ebony] plan to touch every Black individual that you see, and therefore motivates me.”
Camae Ayewa (of Moor Mother) and Rasheedah Phillips
If you’ve ever observed
Moor Mom
stay or attended an exhibition or performance of
Ebony Quantum Futurism
, their own continuous interdiciplinary archive and gratification job with the spouse
Rasheedah Phillips
, you realize that these two black folks are insanely smart and badass af. The reality that they are low key a form of art scholar power few just increases the contagion of goosebumps that are introduced whenever one is within 50 feet of these. There is something truly inspiring about two that mixes
art, songs, existence, and activism
in as poignant and complicated a method as both
Moor Mummy
and
Rasheedah Phillips
carry out inside their projects with each other. Though they usually have a slew of
occasions and exhibitions
happening around the same time (#busy) & though their particular creative training actually blows my small brainwaves into a new aspect (#NonLinearTime #BlackFuturism ##DifferentDimensions), when you are getting an opportunity to really communicate with all of them at an overall performance or occasion, they manage to be extremely down-to-earth and, dare I say, über cool. Plus, they’re
Instagram
is much like Neil Degrass Tyson for queer intellectuals *curtsies and coyly kisses my very own ring*. Very, ya know, énchante, as the saying goes. *guzzles free of charge art gallery drink while taking handfuls of hors devours; chacuterie and crudités*
Lena Waithe and Alana Mayo
Every person needs somebody to put up all of them down and keep them grounded, specifically if you’re an overall star when you look at the community attention in making wonderful contentâand specifically if you tend to be as incontestably perfect as Lena Waithe. Well, sorry entire world, but Lena Waithe already features that character in her life loaded, and I doubt you could take on Alana Mayo, to tell the truth. In an interview in the David Chang Show, Waithe said that when she emerged residence from Emmys, Mayo reminded her to accomplish some chores at home. “The great thing is, she is not jazzed by it,” Waithe mentioned. “She undoubtedly helps to keep myself grounded⦠When I get home from winning an Emmy, she actually is like, âDon’t forget to take out the recycling.’ Its those ideas that i believe are actually helpful. She is thus casual about any of it all.” The really love, my pals, is actually actual. #RealLove #BlackQueerLoveGoals
Janelle Monae and escort tessa fowler Thompson
Clearly, this couple is simply too lovely for terms. Definitely, I would like to only suggest they are practically Black superiority by squealing and flapping my hands: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH! THEY’RE therefore CUUUUUTE! *gasps in Ebony child gay* *collects self in Ebony queer opulence*
OK. So their particular Instagram flirt story, coupled with Janelle Monae’s remarkable sonic film for
Dirty Desktop
that tells a quasi-fiction sci-fi about them being lovers in an afro-futurist society before a purge of queer android awareness, is close to an excessive amount of #BlackQueerLoveGoals to carry. But I’ll keep it. Given that they will have appear as companions (however controlled they are in announcing it into the mass media), its far more easy to just completely fan-femme out and obsessively as with any their particular pictures.
Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols
Everyone knows that Queen Latifah just isn’t extremely upcoming when it comes to hearsay about her lesbianism or the woman longtime girl, Eboni Nichols. In some sort of that still tends to make getting queer in public places a tough and difficult move to make, totally developing a rainbow flag (with the black and brown stripe) in a single handâand the trans banner in the otherâisn’t actually for everybody. Having said that, hearsay being circulating since final Oct that they are engaged and having their unique very first child. It’s difficult to verify via their social media marketing, either for the contrary or affirmative, but if this is correct, its likely they’ve already welcomed somewhat one in to the globe. So⦠congrats?!
In either case, ab muscles thought of these lovers warms all of our hearts at GO. On romantic days celebration, its stimulating and totally adorable to see each one of these extremely sweet lovers living their finest existence and loving the life they reside. So GO forward! Allow #BlackQueerLove end up being your manual this Valentine’s season! You can do it! I’m sure you’ll! *wink*
