Probably because there's still a massive stigma against homosexuality in the Black community.

And at least in Western media, representation of homosexuality seems to mainly focus on White people anyway.

Why not? If a Black man is gay, then he would be able to better relate to seeing aBlack man in a happy relationship with another Black man.

And before you bring it up, the White homosexual experience isn't the same as the Black one.

Because black gay characters usually have white boyfriends for added diversity purposes.

I've seen one in some black TV drama when I was channel surfing but I forget which one. It might have been on BET.

Might have been Noah's Arc, and it definitely was not BET (BET wouldn't are such a thing). I think it aired on LOGO or whatever.

Black couples are uncommon

Gay couples are even more uncommon.

So x*y = uncommon.

Thank you for shouting out Noah's Arc.

Also, watch Pose.

Wasn't the Empire couple the first black gay marriage on a TV show?

In movies, black and gay people are usually killed off pretty quickly. I would imagine that a gay black person doesn't even make it past the intro credits. That's Hollywood for you I suppose. I cannot recall a single instance of a gay black couple in any movie I have ever seen.

We don't even get black straight couples that often. And there's a market for that. There's a very small market for black gay male couples. Black culture isn't all that gay friendly.

Do you mean now? There were plenty but now it seems that they depict more interracial couples.

Because the black community isnt very receptive towards them? Hell there still friction with straight interracial couples.

Here's a short video of how a reaction towards a black male couple would be seen as
