Laban King is a 2017 mayoral candidate for the city of Atlanta and Tyai Green is running for city council. The diversity of my subjects is a testament to the apparent progression over the last decade. I invited three of Atlanta’s most affluent, successful and single Black gay men to rolling out studios to discuss their opinion on the film and also their outlooks on how the African American community has changed in the way it embraces homosexuality.
Not only was it a win for the African American community but it was also a huge win for the LGBT community. Huge barriers were broken when Moonlight, a film featuring with Black gay men, won the 2017 Academy Award for Best Picture.
