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.

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. It was Cher-lovg Jack (Sean Hay) and alholic, right-wg sociale Karen (Megan Mullally) as much as Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Msg) that enared Amerins to the sassy s, wh l like: “Commandment number one the gay bible: Thou shalt not vet my ex’s ass. Adapted om gay director Jt Simien’s breakout film of the same name, about black llege stunts g to terms wh a “post-racial Ameri, ” the seri explor them of race, genr, and sexualy by skewerg jt about everyone for hypocrisy and double standards.
