Jamal's scenes, if not his storyline, make a lot of people uncomfortable. One of them, oddly, was Terrence Howard, who fought (and lost) to have the kissing scenes between Jamal and his boyfriend excised from the pilot for fear of teh ghey sabotaging the show.

There are quite a few comments online (I know, _I know_) hoping for less "gay kissing/sex scenes", and I've noticed when radio DJs interview the other "Empire" cast members, they sort of tend to speak out of both sides of their mouth about Jamal and/or Jussie Smollett - if he's not there, of course.

You mean like the dummy who made that video thinkpiece that some of y'all's cousins tried to get me to watch? The one that said "Empire" was out to feminine males through the Jamal character (and on what planet is Jamal feminine?)
