Making Space For Black Love

San Francisco - Black Out is a once a month party in the Castro, the center of San Francisco’s white gay community. Black Out is put on by Our Love, a program of the STOP AIDS Project. According to their promotional videos, many Black men are put off by the racism of Castro; Black Out “strives to bring black men back to the Castro while starting a dialogue about race and community.”

The men in the videos talk about bringing “diversity” back to San Francisco. They feel the significance of Black Out is “visibility.” They want to make the Castro a “more inclusive place for everyone to feel welcomed and acknowledged.” 

They want to make Castro a place that “represents everyone”—Black, white, Asian, Latino, male, female, straight and gay. Black Out’s slogan is to “Bring Black Back to the Castro.”
