Scripted reality tv show- Love and Hip Hop- has introduced its first gay couple. Model and producer Milan Christopher and rapper Miles Brock were revealed to be in love and apparently hiding their relationship from the world. Which the irony of being on a ‘reality’ tv show and showing the world your secret relationship has not gone unnoticed. But the topic of ‘reality’ tv is another story altogether.
I personally do not watch any scripted reality shows, but I am happy to hear that there is diversity being introduced to all facets of entertainment. However, so many other reactions have been expressed online as to this new development with this couple. Many viewers took to social media to express their concerns and some showed disgust towards this relationship and luckily some embraced it as well. The irony is that there have been same sex relationships on the show in the past. But these relationships have all been between women. So apparently that is ok and no one seemed to mind that being shown.
Check out some of the twitter posts. Type in the hashtag: #LHHH and see some of the responses that viewers have towards this relationship. Obviously this hashtag is for the show as a whole, but recently the latest posts have all been centered around this one storyline. The ‘coming out’ clip is shown below.
