Harlem Pride company information, Employees & Contact Information

MISSION Our mission is to empower Harlem's SGL/LGBTQ community (which includes, family, friends, and allies) to improve its physical, mental, and economic health and wellness. THE TERM “SAME GENDER LOVING” We adopted the use of “Same-gender-loving”, or “SGL” to be inclusive of the identities of members of our Harlem community. It is a term coined for African American use by activist Cleo Manago, and is a description for homosexuals and bisexuals, particularly in the African American community. It emerged in the early 1990s as a culturally affirming African American homosexual/bisexual identity.
