Adding Brian Freeman
[edit]I added Brian earlier, but his name was deleted for supposedly not meeting Wikipedia Notability standards. Brian co-founded Pomo Afro Homos, a groundbreaking comedy group in San Francisco that for the first time brought the black gay male experience to light. The group -- and Brian's -- importance are highlighted in Thomas Fitzgerald's UCLA PhD 2013 dissertation, "Queering Black Gay Historiography: Performance, (Mis)Identifications, and Possibilities"[1]. Pomo Afro Homos and Brian have been highlighted as central to performative gay black identity in the 1990s by The Reckoning[2]. He was a 1999 Alpert Award winner[3]. I could go on. He clearly meets the Notability[4] standards, for Creative Professionals but also more generally. Jtshea05 (talk) 19:18, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
