Famous Gay African-Americans

June is officially Gay Pride Month, but I like to extend the honors and the parties. Besides, pride events are held way into Fall. In celebration, Blackvoices.com pays tribute to famous African-American LGBT people with a diverse slide show, a memorial to Sakia Gunn and reader comments on relationships and Pride.
