And I Will Always Love You… Gay Africa! (History of Homosexuality in Africa, The Bodyguard the Musical, Mariah Carey, #BLMKidnapping? Vivica A. Fox, Shaun King, Frank Ocean, The West End)

Episode 63

13th January 2017

As promised James is delivering just as he teased last year, we are divining into the history of homosexuality in Africa, debunking the myth that it is a thing brought to the continent by white colonizers. Surprise! Africa’s always been gay! We get subversive in this controversial Quizlet Korner, where it might be time to breath, think, and put the torches down. Is Vivica A. Fox’s ladies only/no gays allowed Vegas show homophobic? Did she apologize? Does she need to? Did J LO beat out Mariah Carey in the battle of NYE performances by actually having a rehearsal? Is Frank Ocean’s mom demanding a homophobic gospel singer be removed from her son’s new album? Did Black Lives Matter really kidnap and torture a man? Like… Really??? Did James remove his troll from his life? What exactly IS The Bodyguard Musical? All this and more on this week’s Minority Korner!

After this segment Nnekay and James will probably not be allowed to visit London’s theater district the West End because of all the shade but James just might be West End bound anyways. We catch up on our Kwanzaa Celebrations.
