Happy pride month lovers! While we wish we were celebrating with you all in-person at the various pride events in each of our respective cities, COVID-19 has canceled that for us. Nonetheless, we felt it important to highlight and praise some black lesbian and queer Youtube content creators who are using their platforms to share more stories and images of black queer love. Efforts that have never been more important, especially during times like these when so many black folks are not only fighting for their rights, but are making sure their stories, successes and history are being told through the right lenses.
Check out six black lesbian and queer Youtuble couples you should be following for wholesome and beautiful black love.
LeeLee + Gramz
See as one of the most popular black lesbian Youtuble couples, LeeLee and Gramz give subscribers weekly views into their home life, which includes traveling together, working out, playing pranks, raising two children and even attending church. What makes their channel so different is that while you see their life together, you also see their life apart, for example they display LeeLee’s fashion lookbooks and beauty tutorials.

Tia + Elan

From dance videos, to moving vlogs, to relationship advice to their first snow show; Tia and Elan have shared their entire relationship with us, and we are very grateful to experience the love they share.

Mia & Dae
If there is any type of couple that is completely underrepresented in the black lesbian community it’s one that includes two fem partners.

You can tell that they are both girlfriends and garrlllfriends as they do couples yoga, share tea time and take us on shopping trips with them.
