Grade: 3.0/5.0
It’s no secret that queer media, even in its recent rise in prevalence, is overwhelmingly centered around the narratives of white gay men, often relegating queer people of color to background roles or even to separate shows. And when queer people are onscreen, they’re often written by a wholly cisgender and heterosexual writing team, directed by a straight director and played by straight actors. As such, it’s even more important to champion pieces of art created by queer people of color themselves, telling their own stories in the most authentic way possible, and “Love the One You’re With” is the perfect example.
