Description
Pigmented Taboo is an unapologetic series where three Black gay men and their guests lay it all bare. Discussing identity, intimacy, joy, rage, healing, and everything in between. Broadcasting from London, we cut through the noise to centre the voices, stories, and experiences too often pushed to the margins.
From navigating queer nightlife and dating politics to family, faith, masculinity, and mental health. No topic is off-limits. This isn’t about respectability. It’s about truth. Loud, layered, and lived-in.

From first dates to long-term love, dating as a Black man comes with its own stages, rules, and battles. We dig into how other races approach dating, the double standards in desirability, and the stereotypes that shape how we’re seen. Beyond the surface, we get real about the politics of who gets chosen, who gets fetishised, and how Black men navigate connection in a world that keeps trying to box us in.

We unpack how Black men are often boxed into rigid roles within queer spaces. From being fetishised by other ethnicities, to how femininity in Black men is policed within our own community. We challenge the weight of “masc4masc” culture and ask what it means for desire, freedom, and authenticity. Connect @pigmentedtaboo across all platforms
We get into the world of down‑low culture. The secrecy, the double lives, and the unspoken rules. From hookups in hidden corners to the toll it takes on mental health, we unpack why some men stay in the shadows and how it shapes Black queer spaces. Connect @pigmentedtaboo across all platforms
From Bible verses to backhanded blessings, this episode dives headfirst into the holy war between religion and queerness. We unpack growing up in churches and mosques that preached salvation but handed us shame, the haunting reality of conversion therapy, and how colonialism exported homophobia dressed as holiness. Can you really pray the gay away, or was it never a sin to begin with? Tune in to find out. Connect @pigmentedtaboo across all platforms
In our debut episode, we get personal. From kitchen-table confessions to silence that said it all, we unpack the mess, magic, and madness of coming out as Black queer men. We talk family, faith, fear, and the million-dollar question: is being gay really a choice? Welcome to Pigmented Taboo. Connect @pigmentedtaboo across all platforms
