HBO IS FALLY GIVG US THE BLACK, GAY PRTIGE DRAMA WE’VE ALWAYS DERVED

When two Black men love each other on screen, shows others what is possible, and shows that you n be who you are and still fd love.So we want to take a look back at some of the Black gay upl that we've seen on TV who have spired viewers and changed media as we know . The tle “visible life” is ed to scribe Raymond’s life as a closeted man who regularly engag same-sex novel was crilly acclaimed upon release, and 2010, almost two s after Harris first self-published his breakout work, the Los Angel Tim listed Invisible Life as one of the top “20 Classic Works of Gay Lerature.

It may appear quat now, when we have TV seri like Hulu’s Love, Victor (about a Latx teen explorg sexual fluidy) or Netflix’s Bondg (about sex work and alternative sexualy), but the great gay panic set off by Ellen DeGener g out on her s 1997 was a bombshell that didn’t necsarily nvce the works that they’d open the gat to LGBTQ experienc. Luckily Will & Grace buted 1998 and the groundbreakg NBC seri nvced many that gay people might not be so toxic (and wouldn’t sre off advertisers) — so much so that Vice Print Joe Bin later creded wh changg his md about same-sex marriage. Dpe the fact that lns of Amerins wnsed two men raise a happy and healthy dghter om the fort of their livg room sofas, took a fan mpaign to lobby Disney-owned ABC to fally allow Mchell (gay actor Jse Tyler Fergon) and Cameron (straight actor Eric Stontreet) to kiss ( fally happened 2010).

From the Roy Cohn-flected Army-McCarthy heargs — which was the first time many people heard the word “homosexual” uttered on TV — through the “don’t ask, don’t tell” Neti, that clud The Goln Girls and Digng Women, to our current glter-and-glam era of RuPl’s Drag Race and almost-anythg-go pansexualy. In that way, ’s breakg siar ground to the Sundance Now seri This Close, om af actors Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman, about a straight woman and gay man who are bti lookg for love and unrstandg.
