But for ten years, Wendy’s has refused while all its major competitors – McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, and Taco Bell – have joined. She isn’t thin? But if you would make a concerted effort to hire LGBTQ actors for even half of the LGBTQ roles out there, perhaps they no longer would feel like they have to stay in the closet in order to find work. In a 2018 Instagram post, he equated gay black men with “hyper violent” black men and “abandoners” — as in, all are scourges on blackness. As a gay, black man, I can say that the last decade was pretty good, but in the next one, we can do even better. For all the strides queer blacks are making in entertainment and especially in television representation, there’s still a curious lack of support for them in real life. For its sixth and final season, Empire cast an actual trans performer, Alexandra Grey, to play trans singer Melody Barnes. It’s meta and self-referential in the most inspiring way.

And Queerty, calling a woman a “Thing” because why? Notice how the right wing trolls have no problem with bigots, but auto-attack anybody whose an ally? Thanks to the South Bend, Indiana, mayor’s historic yet ultimately failed run for the Democratic Party’s nomination, what seemed implausible in 2016, now seems like a closer-than-remote possibility. By this time next year or the year after that, maybe Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell will be able to do a photo shoot exploring his feminine side, as he recently did via makeup, dangling earrings, and a lacy white blouse, and the world will shrug in much the same way we now do when a white pop star like Harry Styles does the same.

I was reminded of this while doing a podcast interview based around my recent Queerty article “Gay black lives mattered more than ever in the 2020s.” At the end of the chat, the hosts asked me about my hopes for the LGBTQ community in 2020. It’s time to let thoughtless Wendy Williams go. I couldn’t help but wish the community had backed up former Empire star Jussie Smollett with half as much fervor last year when he first said he’d been attacked by two MAGA cap-wearing white guys in Chicago. A queer POTUS, Wendy boycott, and gayer hip hop: my 2020s LGBTQ wishlist, “Gay black lives mattered more than ever in the 2020s.”. If you’re not looking back consumed in anger, you can look forward filled with hope. She didn’t write the book on black and sassy, and these days, Billy Porter and Lizzo are doing it so much better anyway. Rap album Grammy about a man in love with another man???? Isn’t that a TOS violation? Perhaps during normal boom times it is near impossible to “boycott” and hurt certain companies. Once I collected them, they started to pour out before I had a chance to line them up in neat little rows. Casting agents, we need your help.
Please tell me the name. May the 10 years ahead of us be even more productive than the 10 now in our rear view. The Wendy’s Boycott has been built through a commitment to community, action, farmworker justice and the broader movement for Fair Food. Last year, a rap album about a man in love with another man won the Best Rap Album Grammy, and Lil Nas X, a 20-year-old out gay rapper, scored the biggest single of the year with “Old Town Road.” The stage has been prepped and set for an ongoing revolution. Maybe he’ll be ready for the gig when the 2028 U.S. President election year rolls around and he’s the ripe old age of 46. Regardless of whether or not we thought his story held up, if a straight black performer, say a Kanye West or a Jay-Z, had spun the exact same story, I guarantee there wouldn’t have been a doubting Snoop Dogg, Tracy Morgan, or Chris Rock in the house.
