‘EMPIRE’S’ BRYSHERE GRAY: “I’M NOT GAY”

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? Lee Daniels and his team may have unrled Luc's homophobia too hard so far, havg him nsistently refer to Jamal as female and sist homosexualy is a choice egregly bluntly, but 's probably (and sadly) realistic—and mak Jamal's assertn that he is a gay man, emphasis on both of those scriptors, all the more valuable.

He mt be on his way to stardom bee he’s only been on TV for two months and yet Empire actor Bryshere Gray has already shut down Inter mors that he’s gay. Jsie Smollett plays his olr brother, Jamal, who happens to be a closeted gay R&B sger. Onle, Smollett’s role as Jamal, the middle son, has spired real-life gay kids wh their stggl wh g out and acceptance.

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.

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.
