3. White people are the ones constantly putting forth laws to take away gay rights, not the black community. You didn't realize a white president signed the Defense of Marriage Act? It was a black president that removed Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
4. The show being the on a white network is irrelevant, the character was created and has been embraced by blacks.

This I do not believe. BET failed to nominate Frank Ocean after all of his acclaim. Even the Grammys failed to nominate him in the R&B field outside of an easy giveaway in Urban Album.
I feel that Frank is more accepted OUTSIDE of the urban community. I believe that even before his coming out.
