Billy Porter as James Baldwin

[Doobie Doo]

So Billy Porter was just method acting his whole life for this role

i can see why the look would work but i cant take porter seriously, LOL

i will try to reserve judgement, though.

If Porter is involved this script is probably messy af. They probably gonna exploit the hell out of Marlon Brandos name

Can we get a smiley for this nikka. I’m dying at how gay he looks

 

[Carl Tethers]

Can we get a smiley for this nikka. I’m dying at how gay he looks

Which one?


Edit - That Baldwin pic could legit be a smiley response to any gay thread in TLR

...i wanna see this

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

nikkas sayin a gay man is too gay to play a gay man

 

[Wildhundreds]

James Baldwin was too

I never knew he was gay when I found out about him in 85.. Now that i know he's gay, doesn't change how I feel about his contributions.. It seems like people are using their sexuality as leverage, or a badge of honor.. Its not that serious IMO.

Mr. Baldwin put in work for our community. He always made it clear he was black first. If people can't get over his sexuality then it's whatever. It's not going to erase his contributions or history.

Fukk no.
Any nikka supporting this bullshyt should have their citizenship revoked.

I know he put in work in the community.

I know he's black because I have eyes to see.

Why does anyone care about his sexuality?

Who brought it up, him?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Porter will be mercilessly ripped if he tries to portray Baldwin as some flamboyant gay black man when he absolutely wasn't. He can earn himself some respect if he does the role justice.

 

[Unemployed GM]

bytch gon be on stage crying his eyes out with a white Marlyn Monroe dress on and a gust of wind will lift that shyt up

Breh

 

[KFBF]

This shyt is going to flop.

 

[CrushedGroove]

I really can't stand this dude. He's a talented breh but he's so outlandish that I hate seeing his name. I hope they don't shine the script on Baldwin's homosexuality, because he sure didn't. At least not to the extent that its brought up when you hear his name.

After looking at the pic in the OP again, Billy Porter may be the gayest man to ever prance the Earth's surface.
