Lil Nas X explained homophobia. Kevin Hart still doesn’t get it. Will the barbershop ever be a safe space for queer folks?

On this episode of “Let Your Voice Be Heard!,” Selena Hill, Tiffany Brown, and special guest Stan Talouis, a queer black comic, discussed the episode of HBO’s “The Shop” where Lil Nas X talked about coming out and Kevin Hart’s controversial reaction. The team debated if Hart’s response was inappropriate and why black men don’t feel safe discussing their sexuality within their own communities. Take a listen.
