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

Heartened, Hakeem took to the stage and rapped wh the girl group he’d been was the openly gay Jamal who helped shore up Hakeem’s self image is signifint. In fact, this episo, we learned that Empire has tried to market Jamal as a “gay artist”—a label that the sger fds limg, but that also shows Luc is no longer tryg to ny who his son has been wrten about how the Jamal storyle is pecially signifint the show’s broar social ntext.

Which means the battle for safety probably isn't over, and the Lyons—male and female, gay and straight—are gog to once aga have to prove their toughns.

Rather than jt flailg agast his father's homophobia and retreatg to the fort of his keyboard, Jamal summoned his anger to a missn statement: He pledged to take over his father's pany. First, and I fear we've unrsold this our last two reps, how spectacular is that a work TV show picts not only a gay man of lor, but a gay man of lor the hetero-domated world of hip-hop?
