Every gay man has a strong black woman inside him. 1989s Oprah Winfry vehicle features absolutely every working black actress during that time and recall being a mesmerized 6 year old eating it up. There's a parallel oppression of black women and gay men and looking back at this bleak women drama I can understand what I saw in it. Black women live some of the loneliest lives and have some of the strongest backs that bare some of the hardest burdens. Alone. I think that resonates with gay men. The acting is fantastic. But be prepared to be bummed the hell out.
