Atlanta Black Pride started in 1996 and is one of two officially recognized festivals for the African American LGBT community. It is held in Atlanta each year at the end of August and beginning of September (week of Labor Day holiday).[1] It is one of the largest black gay pride festivals in the country [2] with nearly 100,000 people in attendance annually, the festival bills itself as the largest official black pride celebration in the world. The event plays a major part in the annual $65 million economic impact on Atlanta's economy during Labor Day weekend.[3][4]

The city of Atlanta is widely noted for being a "Black Gay Mecca" due to its highly visible black LGBT community, progressive reputation, and vibrant urban LGBT nightlife.[5][6] Atlanta also has the largest community of black same-sex couples in the South.[7]

Winter Pride

January's Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend is when Atlanta's first major pride event of the year is held. During this unofficial pride weekend, there are several special black gay events and celebrations for locals and visitors.[8]

King's wife and Atlanta resident, Coretta Scott King, was a well-known proud supporter of the black gay community. In 1998, Mrs. King publicly stated at the 25th Lambda Legal anniversary reception that she believes her late husband would have also been a supporter of LGBT rights'.[9]
