    Well, having seen all the episodes. They have made some great points on sexuality and masculinity in the past that I was shocked because I hadn't seen them presented to a Black audience before. Therefore; imma reserve my judgments.

    Wooow. Not eye lashes! Welp, Tyler Perry never disappoints on delivering attractive men who can't act to save their lives. And don't judge me for judging, but can I just say that I hate those creepy mouth beards? I need him to get some goatee spaces in there.

    This is the type of Queer Black man who gets offended when White dudes put on their profile "No Blacks".

    I'm really happy for Tracee Ellis Ross. She's a really great actress, and a great example of not surviving on your last name alone.

    The idea of what it means to a black man has come into question in recent years. For instance, Jaden Smith, the son of megastar Will Smith, has challenged gender norms in high-profile fashion campaigns. Now the VH1 reality series Black Ink Crew: New York will broaden the conversation in tonight’s episode. The show follows the lives of tattoo artists at a shop in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. This season a new member, Kevin Laroy (known from Ink Master on Spike TV), was introduced to the crew. Here’s where you should likely stop reading if you haven’t watched the episode, because spoilers are forthcoming.

    Kevin has caught the eye of a female tattoo artist, Young Bae. In the episode, the two of them go out on what Bae considers to be a date. Before the night is over, their date is interrupted and Kevin leaves with another person — a man. The situation catches many of the other cast members by surprise, and Kevin later ends up explaining that he is attracted to both women and men. But he has a hard time identifying as bisexual or gay.

    Kevin was born and raised in Dallas, a progressive city but still part of the Deep South, where there is stigmas associated with being LGBT. Before the episode aired, he spoke with The Advocate about about his decision to come out on television.

    A 3 night miniseries chronicling the ups and downs of legendary music group New Edition from their humble beginnings in Boston to individual solo success and everything in between.

    Child and adult actors were cast in the leading roles in the three-part miniseries, which goes back to the boys’ childhoods and follows the group’s rise from Roxbury’s Orchard Park housing projects to music superstardom.

    Instead of continuing to complain about what we don’t have in the media (something we do quite a lot here on Cypher Avenue), we decided to appreciate the positives and celebrate the best black gay characters we’ve seen in film and television.

    All of the characters were chosen based on their complexity, realism, creative characterization and the overall performance rendered by the talented actors who filled their shoes. We left web series characters out of contention because, quite frankly, all of them have sucked so far.

    Lastly, ambiguously gay characters have been left off of this list. The characters chosen were only those who either clearly stated that they were gay on-screen or were seen engaging and enjoying same-sex intimacy.

    13. “Wade Robinson” [Jensen Atwood] – Noah’s Arc (TV Series & Film)

    [​IMG]

    Admittedly, Wade Robinson of Noah’s Arc wasn’t the most complex character on the show. And his instant transition from being a masculine heterosexual black man exclusively dating women to being in a full-fledged, head-over-heels-in-love gay relationship with a flamboyant fem was totally unbelievable.

    However we did appreciate the consistent eye candy that was Jensen Atwood. Also, it was nice to see Wade be a regular guy, unlike his fem counterparts on the show. He struggled as a failed actor and is later seen working in the warehouse of a furniture store. You can’t get more everyday than that.

    Beyond that, unfortunately, his masculine character only served as a fantasy and an object of desire for fems. Although every other character in Noah’s little “arc” of friends got their own character building storylines and obstacles, it was extremely rare to ever see Wade have any screen time that wasn’t related to his relationship with Noah.



    12. “Officer Julien Lowe” [Michael Jace] – The Shield (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    We originally left this character off of the list, not just because we forgot all about him, but for the fact that (now convicted murderer) Michael Jace as Julien Lowe was extremely frustrating to watch on screen. True, he defied stereotypes by being a tough cop, not a fashion stylist. However, the character paralyzingly struggled with his sexuality for years on-screen to the point that he almost became boring to watch.

    On reflective thought, what made his character so great was the complexity that came with that struggle. This was a rare character who denied his homosexuality, not for status or concern for how his friends and family would view him. His struggle evolved from his deep religious beliefs that told him being gay was a sin, not unlike what many men are still going through to this day.

    His rise from a beat cop officer to a detective was overshadowed with his inner conflict and repression, leading him to live a down low lifestyle. The horrible decisions he makes all stem from him being extremely closeted and paranoid.



    11. “Boo” [Oneil Cespedes] – The D.L. Chronicles (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    The D.L. Chronicles‘s most popular character has to be the down low thug, Boo. He’s by far the most fascinating and complex character in the history of the series. In 20 short minutes we see Boo struggle with his sexuality, his relationships with his girlfriend (and side-piece boyfriend) and his identity as a bisexual black man in general.

    Whether we like to admit it or not, men like Boo do exist in the world. It’s a shame that actor Oneil Cespedes hasn’t done much else in film or television since this amazing performance back in 2007.



    10. “Calvin Owens” [Paul James] – Greek (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    The ABC Family dramedy, “Greek” was surprising in that it featured multiple gay characters, none of which fit the usual stereotypes. On top of that, the creators of the show made a point to add a masculine black gay character named Calvin Owens who was an all-state hockey and football player. Keep in mind this was back in 2007, long before examples like Jason Collins and Michael Sam jumped into the public eye.

    You have to give credit to ABC Family for showing multiple gay relationships in this series on a network that has “Family” in its name. The people that actually saw “Greek” during its six season run got to see Calvin Owens as a normal, relatable, everyday black gay man…not a flamboyant reality show stereotype.



    9. “Thomas Gavin” [Gabriel Corbin] – The D.L. Chronicles (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    Gabriel’s Corbin’s powerful performance as paralyzed firefighter Thomas Gavin is still engraved into our brains ever since we saw it last year in the first new episode of The D.L. Chronicles in seven years.

    Outside of the character displaying complex raw emotions, Thomas Gavin stood out from many of the other black gay characters in film and television in that he was totally believable as a flesh and blood person.

    By the end of the short film, you personally feel his pain and triumph as he comes to term with both his disability and his sexuality.



    8. “Sean ‘Kaldrick King’ Dugan” [Andra Fuller] – The L.A. Complex (TV)

    [​IMG]

    The character may not have been perfect…he may not have been the best role model for young black gay men…But its hard to deny that The L.A. Complex’s Sean Dugan (aka Kaldrick King) was a breath of fresh air in the world of prime time network television.

    Also, actor Andra Fuller playing the troubled, complicated character was irresistible to watch. Watching Kaldrick’s transition from angry down-low black man to a person coming to terms with his sexuality and relationship with his abusive father was addictive.



    7. “Carter Heywood” [Michael Boatman] – Spin City (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    From 1996 to 2002, Michael Boatman convincingly played black gay character Carter Heywood, Head of Minority Affairs at City Hall in New York City.

    Way back then we had an Out and Open professional black gay character that wasn’t a hair stylist or an In Living Color snap queen. By the end of the series, Carter Heywood even becomes a father, adopting a baby boy named Sam.

    6. “Kyle” [Isaiah Washington] – Get On The Bus (Film)

    [​IMG]

    Are we supposed to still be upset with Isaiah Washington? I’m not sure. He used the gay slur, “Faggot” in outbursts on the set of his former show, Grey’s Anatomy, as well as backstage of the Golden Globes. Many people gave him a pass but I was one who felt that he was very much in the wrong. Either way, he definitely “served his time” for the crime given that his career took a major nosedive afterward.

    Regardless, we did enjoy his performance as Kyle, one half of the black gay relationship in the Spike Lee film, Get on the Bus. What made the character so captivating was that he was comfortable to be Out about his sexuality, yet he was still reluctant to be open about his relationship as his lover Randall.



    5. “William Boyals” [Kent Faulcon] – Strange Fruit (Film)

    [​IMG]

    The 2004 independent film Strange Fruit won’t be winning any film festival awards any time soon for quality or execution, however Kent Faulcon’s character William Boyals definitely was a stand out in this otherwise forgettable film.

    In William Boyals we saw a professional, cocky, arrogant, attractive, self-made black gay man embroiled into an old fashioned southern murder mystery.

    Let me repeat that: This film featured a black gay lead character not “looking for love” or in the middle of a “down low love triangle with unknowing black woman.” Instead he was detective solving a crime. How rare is that?



    4. “Captain Ray Holt” [Andre Braugher] – Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    Talk about being the 180° opposite of the flamboyant caricatures of black gay men we have to see on reality shows and comedies like Key & Peele. Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s black gay character Captain Ray Holt is awesome in that he walks the fine line of being both extremely reserved/serious and also extremely funny, in a witty subtle way.

    Who would have thought that masculine openly gay black film/TV characters could be believable and hilarious without loudly emulating women or acting like 15 year old ratchet Black/Latino girls?



    3. “Paul Poitier” [Will Smith] – Six Degrees of Separation (Film)

    [​IMG]

    Will Smith as the fake son of Sydney Poitier in Six Degrees of Separation remains one of the most complex black gay characters to be captured on film. Many people are unaware that this character is based on a real life black gay con artist named David Hampton who conned celebrities like Melanie Griffith, Gary Sinise and Calvin Klein out of thousands of dollars back in the 1980’s.

    Here’s a black man who’s not defined by his sexuality, instead defines himself with the countless lies he tells others. Another thing that makes the character so fascinating is how charming he is, a common trait of gay sociopaths. They make you gravitate towards them like moths to a flame and they will burn you just the same.



    2. Omar Little [Michael K. Williams] – The Wire (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    Say what you will about The Wire’s tough black gay character Omar Little being a negative stereotype of black gay men, he was far from a one-note caricature. Michael K. William’s portrayal of the feared outlaw that robbed drug dealers for a living became an iconic character known around the world

    The most riveting thing about his Omar Little was that his sexuality was engraved into his character yet that never defined who he was or how he was portrayed. As a matter of fact, we never had a single scene where the character is conflicted about his sexuality or shows any indifference whatsoever. He’s refreshingly depicted as a man that loves his boyfriends and loves his job, as illegal and violent as it may be.



    1. Keith Charles [Mathew St. Patrick] – Six Feet Under (TV Series)

    [​IMG]

    Hands down, openly gay Los Angeles Police Officer and Bodyguard Keith Charles on Six Feet Under is the best black gay character ever depicted on film or television. The genuine charm, love and devotion portrayed by Mathew St. Patrick made all of us wish that we had an equally strong and confident “Keith” in our lives.

    Keith and his partner David Fisher may not have been married, but they were probably the first realistic domestic couple many of us ever ever saw. They even were proud parents, adopting two boys from foster care.

    It was refreshing to see glimpses inside of Keith’s complicated life as he dealt with anger issues and multiple changes of employment. Many of these revelations were seen not through the prism of his relationship with his lover, but in his own scenes depicting his own struggles.

    Do yourself a favor and catch up on all 5 seasons of this amazing show, if you haven’t already.

    Great suggestions! i loved those few episodes of South Central that aired back in the day (a few were on YouTube). Way ahead of its time.

    And The John Laroquette show. When it first aired it was so dark and funny and he and Darryl "Chill" Mitchell had some funny and illuminating conversations about race. Became a more traditional sitcom after the first season. Ugh.

    I don't hate the courage to get on camera and depict our struggles and sexual desires as black gay men, I just hate that it always has to be based on femininity, dating and sex.

    And its all subjective, there's no RIGHT path to making in the entertainment industry. Tyler Perry famously slept in his car while making his plays back in the day, now he owns an island. Kanye West became famous by boasting he was a College Dropout. Yeah, they also happened to be extremely talented and intelligent in other ways, but the point is that piece of paper and a new leased car isn't the end all be all.

    And I'm sure your employee J sometimes looks at V's minuscule success in his desired field and gets a bit envious, despite having his own home and car. I mean, yeah I have a full head of hair, over 6 feet tall, my own car/crib, etc...but I still look at some ppl with none of those attributes and get envious because they have something that I don't have but desire to have.

    I think we get each other's points.

    "It means there is no progression and we stay in struggle (coming out and religion) and victim-hood "
    Isn't this pretty much the synopsis for all Black American movie content, Gay and Straight (as has been mentioned on here before)? Sports, Dance/ Step, Church/Religion, and "(most times abusive/dysfunctional) relationships. SOMEbody SOMEwhere has gotta step out of the box, dude. I personally would love to see a black director do an awesome ass Sci-Fi or Horror flick. No, NOT with a all black cast. A ethnically well rounded cast where the main protagonist is black or "other" and not stereotypically "hood" like so many black characters are written to be. Hell, even a "Period Piece". Let a black director re-make "Shaka Zulu" into an actual movie. That story is f@#kin amazing. For the "militant" black directors, make a movie talking about the rise of the Benin Empire in West Africa and how the British came in a f#$ked the dog sh!t outta them and stole damn near ALL their art/ sculptures/ etc and stuck it in a museum, then continued f@#kin' them and brainwashin' them into Christianity. Anything but what we've been doing for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARRRRS. IJS

    THIS!!! I had to respond to quite a few ppl on Facebook today when they repeated the #FakeNews that Kevin Hart had already apologized in the past. I replied to them, "Post the link to his original apology please." Their response, "I don't have a link, he said he apologized in his Instagram message."

    NOT THE FUCKING SAME THING!

    That's Trump level #FakeNews. I told them, "If he was a white man that posted racists tweets for YEARS then refused to apologize stating that he had already done so (without any proof of an apology), you would be flipping your shit!"

    But because we're talking about "the gays," they take the man at his word. Mind you, a man who is an admitted liar and cheater in his marriage.

    I'll preface my remarks by saying I never thought Kevin Hart was funny. He does what most black "comedians" do, play racial stereotypes for cheap laughs. Most black Americans lap that shit up like a cats do warm milk. I'm also not surprised Kevin Hart is homophobic. I'm surprised people are surprised. Most straight black people especially straight black men are homophobic by default. I consider them all to be anti-gay until proven otherwise. I guess I too am desensitized to hatred directly at non-heterosexual people especially from the black community.

    Yeah because of that, I can see how the white women he's attracted to may be turned on by those gay seeming photos. Plus he's sounds British so they can get away with this type of stuff more than Americans:

    Yeah Based on our body type discussion in that fitness thread, he def looks to be the Ectomorph type. He still probably kills himself in the gym to keep the muscle mass but you can tell staying naturally lean with abs is def not a problem for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the boyish looking straight kid who always got dismissed by the girls, so he dedicated himself to the gym to get the attention he longed for...

    Ideal, but not likely. Like you said, most blk performers end up in porn out of need. The reason why they look homeless and hungry, is because they are. Meanwhile, many fit, attractive 'others' do porn because they look the way you're supposed to look doing porn, while having actual jobs and careers.

    It actually kind of broke my gay filmmaking heart to see this. I'll say the first half of About Him actually showed a lot of legitimate filmmaking and story telling promise and then the dicks came out behind a dumpster and it just kind of stayed there. Unfortunately the message to the filmmakers was more dicks=more viewers and it lost me.

    I started binge watching January of last year during my lunch hours and breaks at work everyday.
    I've burned through all seasons of the following shows in a years time.

    I'm currently catching up on Rick & Morty, which is funnier and deeper than I imagined.

    But here's the thing. How about never saying anything that you would have to delete in the first place? LOL

    As controversial as this site has been in the past, I would never have to delete anything if I got a big opportunity in Hollywood. Sure I've had biting opinions about shitty web series and feminine gay men, but I'm a gay man.That commentary was always me speaking on my experience and observations as a Black gay man. And I stand by every word.

    But never at any point did I mock or ridicule fem gay men, nor did I use them as a "ewww, so gross" punchline.

    The only thing that MAY be an issue is the infamous "gay voice" from a few podcasts, but that was a character and it wasn't even done in malice. Oh, there was also the one time I said that Drag Queens with all the makeup and big hair gave me the creeps like the clown from "IT." While still true to this day, in the moment I made a point to differentiate them from trans women and men, who I've always defended on the site.

    If I'm being honest (and I've said this jokingly before but there's truth to it) part of me does admire how "sexually free" these young dudes are. If I were 23 years old right now, masculine, kinda attractive and at a slim 6'2" tall without religion or family in Atlanta...I not only would be on my 6th relationship, I would have at least 3 tatts and writing/directing my own gay web series.

    So a part of me does envy these young dudes in that way...but not in the total disregard they have for exposing their bodies to the world for rolls of pennies and some IG likes.

    I was genuinely hoping the reason for this thread was because 'uncle' Joey from 'Full House' was getting a spin-off, on Netflix...

    I'll just say, 'keep on truckin Henderson, bro'...i guess..

    I know Gen Xers and Baby Boomers give Millennials alot of shit. Full honesty, I do too sometimes but I do feel sorry for them especially for millennial men and especially millennial black men. They are truly a lost generation. They've been fucked over by the decisions and mistakes of the previous two generations. In broad terms Baby boomers, especially black baby boomers partied and got high from 1960s and 90s and left my generation to clean up the mess. Many gen X people just picked up the stupid behaviors of their parents. Party and get high. The way the American economy is set up you now young people are saddled with at least tens of thousands of dollars in debt when they come out of school it's difficult for many of them to get jobs even of they do get jobs they can't afford to leave home, buy cars etc. Many older people can't afford to retire or are voluntarily decided to work way last retirement age which shrinks opportunity for young people. Opportunities for young men are even worse because many male dominated jobs are going away or have gone away due to globalization or automation. The jobs that are left they gotta compete with women or immigrants employers know they can pay those groups less and exploit them more. Black men are the last to be highered if they're even highered at all. If white America had the unemployment rate that young black men have there would be an armed revolt. If I was coming up in this day and age I'd be really pissed.
