Sexuality and Television

I wouldn't be too surprised if not many people have seen the show Noah's Arc. The show is about 4 main characters, all gay men and all black. Now I've never seen more than one episode myself (mainly because once I discovered it, I was here at school where Logo channel isn't readily available). Also in case you don't know Logo is a channel with mainly gay programming on it.. I've turned to Logo in the middle of the day before and came in on the end of a raunchy gay male sex scene. MID DAY!

But I would like to say that I am proud of how far television has come in its depiction of ALL people. There aren't many good shows anymore that center on African-Americans and this one happens to focus on African-American Gay males. This is a huge barrier that has been crossed by society. Although I'm quite sure there are plenty of people who do not watch this show (homophobia is rampant in the black community) and I'm sure there's plenty of Questioning males watching this show trying to find themselves. That is why a show of this nature is positive. It's something homosexual men can relate to instead of watching a show such as The Game which although it has an interraccial relationship in it, and deals with the problems a football wife may face (I mean how many problems can they really face though??!), is not comparable to being a double minority. Homosexual AND African-American.

Claps for Logo Channel and Noah's Arc.
