IS EMPIRE 'TOO GAY'? HERE IS HOW ONE CAST MEMBER REACTED

Empire has always been the kd of show that gets people talkg, but last night's episo sparked an tertg backlash on Twter by those who're mad at the h seri' gay story chatter started after a sexy scene which Jamal (Jsie Smollett) and D-Major (Tobias Tvilln) hooked Empire fans were not at all happy about the man-on-man actn, and didn't hate to say so on social media:Jsie himself uldn't rist jumpg on Twter to ment on the hate, seemg both amed and annoyed by the backlash:It's unfortunate that 2016, many people's tolerance for sex on TV still don't extend to those outsi the straight muny. But rpect to Lee Daniels's h seri for ntug to ph the envelope for the sake of both entertament and our pellg terview wh Smollett, who aims to make "a homophobe a hypocre" wh his art, above. What do you make of the Empire(tv show) gay character hookg up wh a woman ntroversy?

So basilly one of the ma characters, who's whole arc the first season is about beg gay etc, the season 2 mid season fale sudnly beme attracted to a woman and kissed and fucked her. Both the wrer/creator of the show and the actor playg the gay character intify as gay.

“It’s a nversatn that happens among gay people about sexual fluidy — about beg voutly gay, if you will, but there’s a spectm. There are some folks who aren’t attracted to people of the oppose sex at all, but there are some gay folks who sometim do fd themselv unexpectedly and momentarily attracted. Clearg up Jamal’s sexualy, Chaiken adds, “We’re very clear that Jamal is gay and Jamal is clear that he’s gay, but jt happened.

EMPIRE'S GAY SON IS THE SHOW'S GREATT ASSET

Andre’s gay! “I am a gay man wh an extremely open heart, ” he says, easy and assured until he’s asked to elaborate on what that means to him. If I had to label myself, I would label myself as a gay man.

Some argued that Jamal gog bi rerc the homophobic notn that a gay guy n be straightened out by the right girl.

But Smollett and his Empire boss Lee Daniels—both openly gay—do not see this plot twist as a polil misfire. This is a topic that needs to be discsed, not jt on Empire but also wh the gay muny and pecially wh the Ain-Amerin muny. “Jsie and I both share the same feelg that, y, even though we are gay, we’re sexual human begs, ” says Daniels.
