Tongues Untied DVD trailer

Available for the first time on home DVD on March 18th Tongues Untied shares fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen. Yet they also affirm the black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, "snap diva," humorous "musicology" and vogue dancers.

TIHS MOVIE SAVED MY LIFE!!!!! I am a gay black man and the rejection to which I felt was so strong that I thought that all hope was lost! THEN, I saw this movie and I just sat there and cried because this along with Janet Jackson's "Velvet Rope" and Club Nouveau's "Listen To The Message" saved me!!! Thank you brothers!!!!

A pinnacle in film-making dealing with black and gay and male identities.

I came across this when I was watching CurrentTV's "50 Documentaries You Must See Before You Die". Now I really want to see it. It's on Netflix, but has no release date.

Another one I'm dying to see is Paragraph 175, a documentary that recounts the atrocities Nazi Germany committed to gays - a group that was overlooked by many of the War films related to the Nazi's.

wow that is the most idiotic and ironic thing I've ever heard of. A gay white man not wanting to be in the same room as a gay black man. All minorities, racial and sexual, are brothers.

but nobody has to say the truth cause everybody knows.
