Trailer For Black Lesbian Film Pariah In Theatres Now!!!

Wow the trailer for the film Pariah is excellent! I wonder if  Pariah will be released in Toronto soon? I just checked the internet and Pariah has a limited release in five American cities. I sincerely hope that Pariah will be released in Canada!

Most of the lesbian movies and television shows are about rich white lipstick lesbians like the L Word or the movie The Kids Are All Right. It is just wonderful to hear that a black lesbian movie is in theatres! I commend the director and writer Dee Rees for making this film because we need to see more representations of black lesbians in the media.

It is also time for the black community to have more dialogue about homosexuality. For far too long homosexuality is represented in the media as a “white issue” and not a concern to people of colour.  It is about time we get to see black lesbian love on the silver screen!

For too long black lesbians are often invisible in black culture and in lesbian culture. It is so nice to see Kim Wayans in a dramatic film role! I remember Kim from the 1990s Fox comedy show In Living Colour.
