GBGMC Strategy - Community Survey

GBGMC Strategic Planning Process

Founded in 2018, Global Black Gay Men Connect is a group of Black, gay, bisexual and same-loving men forming a movement internationally to empower our communities, foster resilience against oppression and initiate an ever-growing platform for our collective voices to be heard.

GBGMC envisions a world where all Black gay men are free from criminalization, incarceration, violence, and where an independent Black gay political power and Black self-determination will be recognized in all areas of society.

GBGMC has embarked on developing its first strategic plan and invites you to participate by taking part in this survey. Your feedback is essential to ensure that issues of black gay, bisexual, same-gender loving and queer men are well-represented, our voices and demands for equal access are heard.

The survey will take not more than 10 minutes of your time.

If you have any questions regarding this survey please reach out to info@phi-africa.com
