Gay characters on television are becoming as common as the sitcom itself, but black gay characters are rarely seen in prime-time if at all. Ice Cube's ... yes ICE CUBE'S hit TBS comedy 'Are We There Yet' recently tackled a gay storyline involving one of the most non-stereotypical presentations of a black gay character I've seen on TV in quite a while.
In 'The Boy Has Style', Cedric, a well dressed, 6'2, attractive football player is the object of sixteen-year old Lindsey's affection but there's only one problem-he's gay. 
Cedric admits that's he's gay and only interested in a platonic relationship when confronted by Lindsey's father played by Terry Crews. There's no drama or attempt on Cedric's part to lie about who he is and his honesty is received with respect.
bravo Mr. Ice Cube!
