'The New Black' Documentary discusses Gay Rights and the Black Community

Award-winning filmmaker and journalist Yoruba Richen gives us a real look at Gay marriage, gay rights and the Black community in "The New Black".

It's real talk, folks and I hope this gives some insight to the issues we face as a community, especially for those of us who are Black and gay.

Interesting Quote: Yoruba Richen

I have been shooting “The New Black,” the film from which this Op-Doc video is adapted, for the past three years. In the course of production, I realized that the issue of gay rights in the black community is in many ways a fight over the African-American family, which has been a contested space since the time of slavery. So marriage is not just about marriage for black people — it’s also about how blacks have become accepted as legitimate participants in American society.

I am so looking forward to see this.
