It was the 90s and people weren't that accepting of homosexuality.

True they made Omar look like he was a monster.

@@PeteMcCorvey True

it’s realistic tho

This episode wasn't about homosexuality though. It was about coping with inconvenient truth.

Then now you know how we felt back in school in the 90s

Right! Moesha definitely got into alot of trouble on her own though. Kim and Neicey were good friends in other areas of her life though

Rachel Starr stfu bitch

+BenjJr Graham I wrote the episode and I am also a proud, black and openly gay man. While I appreciate your opinion I respectfully disagree. You have to remember this was 20 years ago and representations of black gay teenagers on prime time television were nonexistent. They still are. The adults in the episode never suggested or even hinted at a "black people don't play that" attitude. In fact, they admonish the kids for spreading gossip because whether it's true or not is none of their business. The episode may not have been perfect and you can't please everybody but we had 22 minutes to tell an interesting and, at least in this case, autobiographical story. We actually ended the episode with a message encouraging kids to be who they are. I still have the thank you letters I received from gay teenagers all across the country. I wasn't trying to change the world. Just shed some light and, possibly, give a few struggling kids a little hope. It does get better but even after you come out the struggle continues.

+Demetrius Bady because we were there, you and i both know that at the time you just could not have an all out black gay representation on television. this is one of those things that insiders know all too well. it did not speak it in the show, but we know that the african american community was in need of dialogue concerning the gay community. take into consideration the fact that at that time you still had preachers equating HIV with a "choice" to be gay. don't even mention gay marriage. but that episode was a little too real. i remember how it made me feel then. we've come a long way (thank you for your contribution), but there are still places where this is still real life.

great episode

BenjJr Graham ur rachet ass needs to grow the fuck up

@@demebady woww you wrote! this episode it almost made me sick to my stomach bcuz I'm gay and discreet with it this episode almost made me come out to my parents and i love moesha!!! I loved it too tho this episode got really deep and I enjoyed it tho!

The writer of the episode kept it deliberately vague, although he suggests that Omar is, in fact, gay.

Alfred Martin Oh ok

By the way Hakeem's body language & reaction was yes it was revealed that he was gay

I didn't like Moesha in this episode. She didn't have to out Hakeem's cousin Omar like that. And then she told Kim and Niecey of all people.

@@joshuamcdowell5782 Yeah telling Kim and Niecey is like telling everyone. And then everyone was making fun of Omar because of his alleged sexuality. This made me angry.
