This is a move in the right direction. Many in the queer community feel slighted by BET because of past actions and lack of inclusion on BET originals. It feels a bit like the network is pandering to save face, but the proof will be in consistency and continued commitment to the LGBTQ community.
It sucks that it took so much pressure for them to finally do it, but kudos for them finally taking a step of being inclusive.
QuoteTisha Campbell Said She Had To Fight To Include MJ Rodriguez In The Soul Train Awards Opening
Earlier this year, we shared the concerns from actress Angelica Ross who took issue with the fact that no Black trans women were involved in the annual "Black Girls Rock" award show. With the visibility of Black trans women increasing, thanks to digital advocacy and the show "Pose," there is no reason to explain the absence.
While BET didn't come out and say anything, one way or the other, about the criticism, you would think that they would want to be inclusive to all members of the Black community, particularly those who are the most marginalized.
So when MJ Rodriguez performed during the opening number of the Soul Train Awards with Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold, we assumed this was the network's way of making things right.
But that might not have been the case. Campbell was guest hosting on "The Real" earlier today and she shared that there was a bit of a fight to get Rodriguez in the number.

She didn't specify how or who she had to fight. But with the exception of scheduling conflicts, this should have been a no brainer. Regardless of people trying to stop her shine, I'm happy that MJ was able to come out and kill it the way she did. In fact, we could have seen a bit more of her in the opening. She did her thang.

Well said.
And people thought the
Black Girls Rock! criticism was a bunch of noise that BET was just gonna pay...
...lolz.
"goes inclusive" has me kicking Bet goes gay! nnn
What's happening?

All of this is just further proof of why BET is the shit.
Half of these Black faggots crying for inclusion don't even respect the platform, and will happily join in on EBT/ghetto jokes in a second.
But who can pass up an opportunity to play victim in 2019? It's irresistible.

I mean this all after they let a WHITE MAN Ryan Murphy do pose. BET should have been done something like this. No claps from me

Viacom passed on POSE, thankfully. And that was above BET's head. that show would've died on VH1 or BET, likely before the end of the first season.
They have to start somewhere though, right? It's about progress not perfection. I get the frustration and skepticism about BET. Let's see if there is more in store behind this push. :wub:
