Synopsis

This special edition set includes:
Shades of Love: Black Homosexuality Volume 1
Shades of Love: Black Homosexuality Volume 2
Shades of Love: Black Homosexuality Volume 3

Shades of Love: Black Homosexuality is a trilogy of documentaries that express the experiences and problems of black homosexuals.

Volume 1:
The first volume dispels the myth about the origin of homosexuality among those of African descent. It exposes the many misconceptions that there was no homosexuality in pre-colonial Africa and that homosexuality was introduced to Africans by Europeans. This volume also brings into the open the rampant racism within the LGBT communities. It exposes the hypocrisy among those invoking the spirit of the civil rights movement in an effort to obtain gay rights, who, while doing so, are ferociously practicing the same racism that sparked the civil rights movement of days past.

Volume 2:
The second volume covers HIV in the black community and each participant discusses what it's like to be black and gay.

Volume 3:
Volume three features the life stories of a wonderful group of proud, black, gay and lesbian sistahs and brothas and one heterosexual sistah who speaks about what life was like being raised by a lesbian mother.
