I pray that every little Black kid, all the Black girls and Black boys who grew up to be gay has to opportunity to share their love with the people in their village. I hope you can have the wedding of your dreams without having to compromise to accommodate anyone else. I hope that your moment to celebrate your love is free of judgment, and drama. Most importantly, I hope that you are able to celebrate your love with your village fully supporting and participating in the moment.  Growing up in a Black family is undoubtedly the best experience, and, yes, this is my biased opinion. But, growing up in a Black family for those who are gay can be complicated. It can be as simple as shame and gaslighting to the far more extreme of abuse and worse. Typically on the lessor end, it is something that each Black…
