Welcome To The Black Men's Xchange-New York [BMX-NY]

BMX-NY is a gathering for same gender loving (SGL) and bisexual Black men to powerfully and respectfully address issues that impact their lives, and to connect with one another in a positive, affirming, nurturing and transformational environment. Ages 18 and up.

"The term 'Same Gender Loving' [SGL] emerged in the early ‘90s to offer Black women who love women and Black men who love men (and other people of color) a way of identifying that resonated with the uniqueness of Black life and culture..." - Visit our official website http://www.BMXNY.org to read and understand more of what the term "Same Gender Loving" means.
