Marlon Riggs`s portrayal of homophobia and racism caused controversy during Tongues Untied`s original 1991 airing on PBS`s P.O.V. series and contributed to the national debate about the National Endowment for the Arts funding for art with nudity, gay themes, and pointed political commentary.
Riggs`s stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen. The stories also affirm the black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, snap divas, humorous musicology, and vogue dancing.

I can't help it, but the film's format didn't sit well with me to the point where it could be about anything and I just wouldn't like it. It's so disjointed, like it doesn't even have a proper form. Yes, at the time it was probably a shout in the right direction, but after twenty-five years, it sounds more like just a shout into the darkness.
