Toni Yates, a popular face in American media house, hosted the Opening Reception of The Philadelphia Black Gay Pride's Annual and showed her support to the community. Being an active member of National Association of Black Journalists, Yates has been long involved in such acts for her community.

Initially, the black LGBT pride began from a small gathering of people. They were feeling marginalized and less a part of the whole gay community in participation, organization and administration.

Today, the Black Gay pride has been working to unite and bring together black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people . Most major cities in the U.S. host an annual Black Gay pride event, which includes Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Black Gay Pride (PBGP) first took its form in at the COLOURS Organization. It is the only LBGTQ service organization in Philadelphia primarily by and for people of color. COLOURS used to serve as the official host of the PBGP festival up until when PBGP received its own 501 (c) (3) status. PBGP has been a member of the Center for Black Equity for the past 13 years.

 PBGP provides one of the only non-profit pride celebrations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania created for and planned by volunteers of the community.
