Black Queer Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following

This month and always.
Black Queer Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following

By Nandi Howard · Updated June 1, 2021

If there’s one thing we can learn from the queer community, it’s resilience. While June is a month dedicated to celebrate members in the LGBTQ+ movement, which includes Pride Month parades across the world, the past year has been a little bit different. From COVID-19 to global unrest, the queer community has historically been at a disadvantage.

When it comes to learning about LGBTQ+ issues, Instagram serves as a great tool to help you find activists who are always enlightening their audience about their community. From model Aaron Philip to activist Kimberly Drew to Hollywood producer Janet Mock, your timeline should incorporate these LGBTQ+ members. From to-die-for looks to community activism to cheeky dancing videos, these are the queer instagram accounts you should already be following.
