Black heteros everywhere were just as outraged as black gays have been in reaction to the interracial couples.īlack Couple #6: DJ Baker and Eric J.
Ravi Perry and Paris PrinceĪlthough the publication has now moved entirely to digital, Jet Magazine made history by featuring this black gay couple in their decades long wedding series in the Decemissue.
He also spent 8 years with his Caucasian college sweetheart and ex-fiance Carolyn Moos.īlack Couple #5: Dr. Interracial Couple #3: Jason Collins and Brunson GreenĪlthough very private about his private life, openly gay NBA player Jason Collins eventually confirmed that he is dating Oscar nominated film producer Brunson Green. Since then they’ve hosted upscale social events in Atlanta and provide relationship advice on their popular LoveWorks website and YouTube series. Many black gays applauded the young couple, yet for some reason those same gays are now forgetting that they even exist at all.īlack Couple #4: Gee Session-Smalls and Juan Sessionįriends of Cypher Avenue, the Sessions eloped in October 2009 and were the first black gay male couple to be featured on the HGTV series House Hunters. The Hetero Black Internet had a simultaneous aneurysm when the photo of Kordale and Kaleb brushing a little girl’s hair began spreading online. Although the couple (who had been corresponding for years) looked happy, many black gays were pressed and upset. Interracial Couple #2: Derrick Gordon and Gerald McColloughīlack gays painted themselves when they saw the photos of 22 year old NCAA basketball player Derrick Gordon on the GLAAD Awards Red Carpet with 47 year old white actor Gerald McCullough. They were also officially married on the CBS broadcast of the Grammy Awards to an audience of over 30 million people.
They both are gay socialites in Hollywood who have no hesitation in showing off their extravagant lifestyles on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
One is a wardrobe stylist/photographer, the other is a director/choreographer. Chronicles recently married on the Grammy Awards to an audience of over 30 million people during Macklemore’s Same Love performance.īlack Couple #2: Octavius Terry and Jamal Sims Together for over 17 years, these creators of the black gay television series The D.L. Michael Sam and Vito CammisanoĪfter years of dating, this awesome couple shared an historic moment together when Michael Sam officially became the first openly gay football player drafted into the NFL.īlack Couple #1: Deondray Gossett and Quincy LeNear To highlight this point even more, in the following post we’re listing TWO examples of black gay couples that have been in the media for every ONE black interracial couple that has sparked outrage amongst black gays. What other reason could explain why outraged black gay men are choosing to ignore them? We’ve posted many of them on this website. The reason I say this is because we have seen MANY recent examples of Black-on-Black gay love in the media. The (closeted) black gay men that are calling Openly gay ground-breakers Michael Sam and Derrick Gordon “sell outs” on Facebook and twitter, are they actually just Bitter Bigots? Are they merely just thirsty gays wishing they could date a famous “wealthy” gaylebrity athlete? These were just a few comments from black gay men posted on Cypher Avenue. As if a few popular black gay men dating white guys makes them inferior or “less than”. As if these black openly gay men haven’t already done enough for representation by coming out publicly. This is especially surprising because, for the most part, the criticism has been based on what people are saying is a lack of black-on-black love being displayed in the media. CNN may have the missing Malaysian plane to obsess over, but we here at Cypher Avenue are fascinated with the prejudice and disdain displayed by Black Gay Men over a handful of interracial couples in the media recently.
