November 4, 2008, was historic. African-American voters turned out in record numbers to elect Barack Obama. In California, that record black vote has been blamed for ensuring passage of Prop 8, where 7 in 10 blacks voted in favor of a measure that bans gay marriage. While both the black community and gay community have struggled for their civil rights, traditionally the two have not gotten along. So what if you’re both black and gay? Chances are “Beyond Dark Corners” is not just a metaphor for you.
