Homophobia is a global epidemic and in Africa it continues to be sustained by the high courts system. Against the law for people to be who they are and love who they want.
“People have been detained, men and women, at different gatherings but no cases had ever gone before a judge. We have to establish that people have a right to meet that shouldn’t be a crime under any law in any country,” said Mohammed.

The Vida Alegre center for LGBTQ seniors was founded in Mexico City by Samantha Flores, an 87-year-old transgender woman. Nothing similar exists in the country. “Loneliness is a big problem,” Flores said. “I’ve had people come in, older gay men, sobbing and pouring their hearts out to me about how unhappy they are."

Support, Education, Empowerment!

Eclipse was born out of a desire and passion to see the unique experiences of African-American, Latinx, and other communities of color at the intersection of LGBQT+ identities represented in Toledo, OH. The word Eclipse is a reference to the way our intersections meet and mesh, none of them detached from the other in how we experience the world, and how society responds to us. We are here to build intentional community, to lean into hard conversations and find resolution, to empower and encourage each other. We are here to rise.

Why specifically Black, Brown, and POC?

Similarly to the LGBTQ+ community needing safe spaces to build community and to reduce exposure to homophobia, People of Color need safe spaces to reduce exposure to racism and discrimination. People of Color have been traditionally left out of popular movements in the United States and abroad. One such movement is voting rights in the United States. Conversely, LGBTQ+ people have been left out and even erased out of Black, Brown and other POC-led movements, such as during the Civil Rights Era. It is crucial to bring these marginalized identities to the forefront, and celebrate people at all their intersections.
