I enjoyed the show and the final ep. As black gay men we must remember, it is not the job of the writers to portray us in the best light. It is the job of the writers to entertaining, and they have done just that. The storyline speaks of the closeted homo thug and portrays it well. Every black gay couple isn’t violent, but some are.

If you knew anything about Jamaica and its culture you would understand why reference was made to Jamaica…. Not because the show is Canadian based doesn’t mean its not applicable in other parts of the world…

Okay, I have a question, why are people talking about Jamaica? The LA Complex show is a Canadian show and it deals with North American culture. I agree that the hip hop industry is homophobic I am not disputing this. I am just concerned about the message the LA Complex producers are presenting. I was shocked and horrified when Tariq was bashed by Kal. I just think there was another way to handle the situation without violence.

Saw this earlier on the news but they barely had an details.

Not surprised. At all.

Republicans will fight tooth and nail to keep gays and lesbians from getting married because they’re afraid they may have to MARRY someone they’re sleeping with one day.

Can I get a wut-wut for appropriate consequences?

I’m all kinds of off perhaps, since I have only seen scenes from this show involving these two but I don’t think it’s racist.

I think it’s dangerous when white’s portray ALL gay relationships as blissful, purely sexual, or “Mamie-ized” (no sex AT all just raising kids and praises the lord jesus and all that) – because it’s not real. Sometimes gay men and lesbians get abused mentally and physically from those that are supposed to love and not just from those who outright hate them.

The fact that it’s hip hop is not at all withstanding. I love that it exposes that hip hop can bring in an internalized homophobia in order to PROVE something. Tupac said it a LONG time ago – what he does is fake and all for show. Tupac was a poet who went to one of the most notably Fine Arts schools in the East. And yet he got on stage and played a “character” and knew it- that got him killed. That fakeness is deadly and DL life is just as deadly.

I hope the lesson the writer’s bring forth is that no love is worth that kind of insanity. Expose his ass and walk. Because it may be passionate and intense but unless you’re willing to play that nonsense you’re set to get burnt. Tariq is an earnest and gentle soul and is just blinded. It’s not racism it’s life. I don’t think any of us DON’T know someone who has been there regardless of the race. The choice to have the black characters do it is probably just the shortest distance between two points.

I can see where you’re coming from, but there are a lot of other factors at play as well.

Thanks Pink……. I am happy someone understand what i am saying….. I live in Jamaica and if you notice i have to be using a pseudo name….. based on my experiences over the past 4 years you really cant control who you fall in love with, and sometimes that person is bad for you but for some reason all you can see is the good in him, how special he make you feel… etc…

I am 100% sure Vybez Kartel reaction would be worst given the same scenario…. Would have probably slit his throat…….. anyhow lets see how it plays out…..

Cant stop saying how much i love this show…. and Tariq even more>>>>>>>>>

I agree with you 100% here..Its not about portrayals of white versus black perse its more about in the closet Hip Hop culture…Truthfully if Vybez Kartel was caught in a lip lock with a dude i am not sure he wouldnt react the same way or any other Jamaica DJ for that matter. And the Jamaican Dancehall music scene is a very close approximation for what Kal and Tariq are going through.

The truth is u cannot control who u fall inlove with but when u fall in love with a gangsta that punches fans fpr taking pictures etc. you kinda either have to learn to fight back or prepare to be a potential punching bag

My dear tennisfan, why are you so mad about this question being even asked? And so angrily asking for proof and at the same time assuring us of his heterosexuality without having the slightest one on the contrary yourself, as it were. I certainly know nothing about his sexuality, but neither do you: don’t expect us to take your assumptions as final proof. By the way, what would be so wrong with being gay, should perchance he (or any other tennis champ be?). I’ve got news for you, lad; there are just as many gay tennis players as gay male ballet dancers. Virtually all of them well into the closet, the higher teir ranking, the less they are willing to go public, as their females counterparts do so matter of factly ( We know well a dozen at least in the top 100) Apparently, to have real guts is reserved to women, as French men say. How sad…
