Pigmented Taboo
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.

Black Women, Let’s Talk Homophobia

Black women have been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ advocacy, culture, and community building for decades. So why do many queer people still experience homophobia within their own communities?
This week on Pigmented Taboo, we’re joined by Mide Oni for a candid conversation about the complex relationship between Black women and homophobia. From religion and cultural expectations to family dynamics, respectability politics, and generational trauma, we explore the factors that shape these conversations and their impact on Black LGBTQ+ people.
