Meanwhile 30 years ago: RuPaul made his film debut in a Spike Lee film in 1994 and also appeared on Sister, Sister and LL Cool J’s show In the House the same year

I love Will Smith as an actor but let’s be real, the man had always been super calculating about his image and career (up until the Oscars slap) that anything that might upset his audience was an absolute no for him
@iramadisonthree
Will played a gay character in Six Degrees of Separation but refused to do the male on male kiss required for the part because Denzel advised him not to.
@iramadisonthree
I would guess Will wanted to appeal to a certain demographic. The ones Spike didn’t care to reach. The network could have been down their throats too. Idk. Either way, I’m not surprised at all.
@iramadisonthree
Will has always been calculating to a unnerving degree.
Sure, he could play a gay man in "Six Degrees of Separation" to bolster his acting bona fides, but he's very much proven himself to be afraid to take any hard stances until the Oscar night debacle.
@iramadisonthree
Let's be honest up until Jada started talking about their relationship & the slap. Will really cared & curated his image... I mean, he was the rapper that didn't swear... 🤣
@iramadisonthree
I think it had more to do with him and his team being more cautious after he played a gay man in Six Degrees of Separation the year prior.
@iramadisonthree
Will Smith BEEN having issues with homosexuality. Let's not forget the time he asked to have a stunt man kiss another man because he wouldn't do it in a movie. I think he grew tho.
@iramadisonthree
Respectfully I don’t think he said this, this the same man that was comfortable with doing gay colloquialisms in certain scenes. And has done a scene kissing a man, more than once. And is raising gender fluid children. Somebody lying
