The Wire returns for a fifth and final season on HBO, starting January 6th

As a continuation somewhat of the post I made yesterday, I wanted to follow up with links to what I feel is a positive representation of sexuality in hip-hop. If you are not familiar with the HBO television series The Wire, get familiar.

Easily some of the post compelling television on TV, The Wire offers an honest look into some of the sub-cultures of hip-hop. What's even more groundbreaking is an Black man - who happens to be homosexual - is likely the most popular character on the show!

I have included links to three articles written on Omar Little (played by actor Michael Kenneth Williams) about how his groundbreaking character is making waves in our culture from pro athletes to average Americans.

HERE ARE THE LINKS:
