FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUBJ: IS THE AFRI GAY?
JUNE 11, 2024
The Afri Bar, Afri Resort we consider is a novel alternative and the first for entertainment, leisure, and recreation for gay African American and gay Black men curated by Village Resorts Hospitality Group, LLC, with an intent and purpose, and over the years while gay America has changed and as gay America is changing, so will “not” the Afri Bar, Afri Resort.
The Afri Bar, Afri Resort were first curated with the intent of offering gay Black and African American men a safe space where gay Black men can be gay Black men. Homophobia, stigma, and discrimination can be especially hard for Black men who are gay and bisexual, who maintain relationships with men, and who have sex with men, and these negative attitudes can increase their chance of experiencing violence which can include behaviors such as bullying, teasing, harassment, physical assault, suicide-related behaviors, and more.
While the assimilation of the LGBTQ community into mainstream America is not new but in recent years has become more visible, the very concept of the Afri Bar, Afri Resort is to preserve the gay culture as the distinction between gay, LGBTQ, and straight culture has become so blurred, and so fractured, it has been described that “the very concept of gay culture may one day disappear altogether,” and while mainstream America has become more accepting of the LGBTQ community, in many places gay African American Black men more so than any other gay men remain stigmatized within the eyes of society, whereas the Afri Bar, Afri Resort works to preserve a distinct gay culture we feel is only offered by the Afri Bar, Afri Resort and while in the future we may warmly welcome others within the gay community to experience the Afri Bar, Afri Resort, the Afri Bar, Afri Resort exists to fulfill its intended purpose first.
Considered the first of its kind in terms of structure, offerings, and availability, the Afri Bar understands that patrons who may be gay but non-Black or African American may be interested in frequenting the Afri Bar and in response, the Afri Bar has developed what we call “The Afri Community Days.”
The Afri Community Days is an opportunity open to the broader LGBTQ community to patronize the Afri Bar on “pre advertised days” at our sole discretion allowing the broader gay community access to the Afri Bar to include our products, goods, and services without disrupting our normal operating procedures and operations curated for and marketed towards gay Black and African American men.
While Urban Ground Resort, LLC, and the Afri Bar are pleased to offer the broader LGBTQ community access to the Afri Bar during its “pre advertised days” only, known as the Afri Community Days, We are under no legal or social obligation to offer our services to any category outside our targeted market and demographic audience and the Afri Bar does not discriminate, and discrimination will not be tolerated and we are under no legal or social obligation to tailor or alter the experiences or operations of the Afri Bar for any other purpose thereof. Our targeted and market audience simply remains that of gay Black and African American men first based on our intent and mission statement while at our sole discretion warmly welcoming all others during the Afri Community Days to experience the Afri Bar, Afri Resort.
The Afri Bar, Afri Resort We feel will become a first-choice destination as we work hard to produce and deliver our version of the ultimate gay experience and we thank you for your interest and understanding.
The Afri Bar, the Afri Resort, owned and operated by The Afri Resort, LLC, is a Village Resorts Hospitality Group, LLC, property, and from time to time, at our sole discretion the Afri Bar, LLC, and Village Resorts Hospitality Group, LLC, reserves the right to implement, modify, cancel, or change any policy, Memorandum, or agreement as necessary.
