The interesting thing is that Jet/ Ebony covered the LGBT community in the 50’s but they aren’t covering it at all now.

It seems that Ebony/ Jet and many in the Black community are less accepting now than 50 years ago.

I wonder why that is?

Yes, I wonder too.

JET/Ebony like many other publications has moved on for fear of retaliation from the Christian/Republic party and etc... 2009 is the year of the Trannie/Drag Queen. Hell this is Drag Queen History Month!
