Don Lemon Joins “Red Table Talk” To Discuss Being Black And Gay In America And Hate Attack On Jussie Smollett [VIDEO]

Don Lemon Talks About His Experience As A Gay Black Man

In this episode, Red Table makes a special trip to New York for an exclusive interview with Don Lemon about the horrific hate crime against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett. Lemon reveals the obstacles he faced being a gay, black man in a high-profile job, and the challenges facing gay men in the African American community.

We thought he said some really interesting things about the Black church and the hypocrisy of our community using the same scriptures to judge gay people that were used to hold black people back.
