White Heterosexual Content Creators, Create Better Black Gay Characters
“It makes me feel like white heterosexuals (mostly white men) can tell the story of a masculine black gay man better than black gay content creators can. Is it possible that because of their heterosexuality they are able to tell stories from a more traditional male point of view therefore making the black gay male characters and story lines more masculine”?
