I been told by older gheys it hasn't always been this way but around the 2000s there was a serious uptick in fights. I know when I entered the scene around the early 2010s the fights were in full swing. I vividly remember seeing two Morehouse butch queenz fight my first pride which baffled me b/c I thought Morehouse was a prestigious school full of uppity preppy men who knew better to not engage in hood street fights and mess up their future

I been to many black prides around the world. Nobody seem to come close to the fights at Atlanta Black Pride. It's almost as if people come to Atlanta specifically to fight and start mess. I don't know why other races can almost always peacefully have pride but Black gheys hate each other so much it's almost always impossible.

I will likely be in Atlanta b/c I live here but I won't be participating in anything. Like I stated before Atlanta Black Pride has lost the plot. It's not as fun and dynamic as it used to be, especially since lesbians took it over. No shade to lesbians but we move very different. And the constant fights and drama have ruined it for me .... ain't nobody got time for that

The gays seemed to be more excited about DC Black Pride lately over Atlanta Black Pride. DC Black Pride looks much more organized, more diverse in activities, and of course seems to host better parties. Atlanta Black Pride used to be the best pride to me but times have changed. Today, Atlanta Black Pride is just a bunch of parties without much substance like it used to be. A lot of stuff they used to have before the parties like HIV panel discussions, fashion show, movie night, market days, Black Gay YouTuber meet-ups, on and so forth I don't see no more but I do see some of that stuff in DC. Also Atlanta Pride used to be a gay man heavy event which is why it became so popular (gay men party the hardest) ... now it seems as if the lesbians have slowly but surely taken over Atlanta Black Pride and black gay men have favored the DC Black Pride much more.

What do you say? Has Atlanta Black Pride lost its magic? Is DC the new "main event"?
