Are We Sure We're Not a Monolith? Unspoken Rules of Black Gay Culture with HellaChisme
<p>Surprise!! Darius and Jeff of JustDrawz have linked up with Dana from HellaChisme to bring you a supersized and extra long episode combining all of our personalities together! The topic is the Black Gay Monolith. Are we as a culture monolithic? Do we always put the same artists, content creators, and cultural moments on? If so, why do we always say “We are not a monolith” then?Well we dive into that thinking and challenge ourselves and you to talking about this. Are we really the same? Or do we have just enough differences as a culture?
