The State of Black Gay America (SBGA) Summit is a one-day event that takes place annually during Atlanta’s Black Gay Pride Weekend Celebration.

The first Annual SBGA Summit was held on Saturday, September 1, 2007. The SBGA was established to educate, empower, and encourage members of the African-American LGBT to become more active in improving the plethora of issues facing the LGBT Community.

The SBGA Summit provides an opportunity for local and national leaders to meet with members of the LGBT community in an effort to engage in an information sharing session designed to stimulate discussion on issues specific to the LGBT Community.

The SBGA Summit consists of diologue and presentations from a distinguished panel of subject matter experts who engage the audience on a number of key agenda items and issues specific to this demographic along with appropriate strategies and solutions to address such issues.

At the end of the SBGA Summit, there is a call to action for members of the LGBT community. The Call To Action (CTA) is intended to empower individuals to take appropriate action with respect to issues facing the LGBT community. The CTA is also intended to establish a formal caucus of Black Gay Leaders that will speak for and about issues affecting the LGBT community.
