That's the beauty of 'Queer Eye' coming back. No matter how far you think we've come as a society, there's still work that needs to be done.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
I think it's just so important that parents actually really study the apps on the phones and figure out what's going on.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
By no means am I excusing homophobic rap lyrics, but as a product of the same environments that birthed hip-hop, I fully understand why those lyrics existed.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
We, as communities that are marginalized, need to open up our minds and realize that we should be asking and advocating for more of everyone. Let's get more gay black men; let's get more trans women.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
What defines someone as a 'man' should not be the clothes they wear or how deep their voice is. It should be the content of his character, his strength in the face of overwhelming adversity, and his ability to still love and help others when the world has turned its back on him.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
My main thing is obviously mental health and well-being, and then my second passion would be politics; the third would be fashion.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
In our country, being from immigrant parents, growing up black in the South, coming out at 16 years old, being a teen parent... you would assume that my life would amount to nothing. And here I stand today. So, if I can do it... you can, too!
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Fatherhood is an honor, and men should be strong enough to step up to the plate.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
My favorite job, and definitely the one that means the most to me, is 'Queer Eye.'
Quote by -Karamo Brown
We all are scared. First of all, as a culture, we're constantly told that if you start to express yourself or express your needs, you're needy. You're too emotional. And they put all these negative connotations on it. That has started since we were kids, especially for men.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Every show I've been on, my kids pay no attention. They're just like, 'Who cares. It's just dad's job.'
Quote by -Karamo Brown
I don't like the term 'coming out' because it gives the power to the other person.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
The marginalization of African-Americans within their own community based on sexuality is a construct that is more complex than the idea that 'blacks just hate gays.'
Quote by -Karamo Brown
As one of the first African-Americans to be out on a reality program, MTV's 'The Real World: Philadelphia,' I understand the courage it takes to live your truth on a national platform, the importance it holds to LGBT communities of color, and the power it has to create a greater conversation within American culture.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Encourage your friend and family member who are queer parents of color to post their stories and share it with the world. It's time for us to be seen.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
I can be walking down the street, and someone will stop me and ask me for one of my hugs. They feel like I'm their friend, which I love - though sometimes my kids get a little weirded out by it.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
What does culture mean? It's not a physical thing. I love a museum, but that, for me, doesn't make you a better person.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
So often, we take photos on our iPhone, and then they're gone in a year, and we don't even remember them. I like to experience life and disconnect from that.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
For many gay and bisexual men of color, economic inequalities add to the pernicious effects of oppression and homophobia.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
In 2007, I discovered I was a father to a little boy who I did not know about. After being on MTV's 'The Real World' and traveling the world, I was greeted by a stack of papers on my doorstep informing me that I had a child.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
I know a lot of people who are depressed, and they walk around, and they're smiling every day, but no one's asking them how they're really doing.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
I hate when I see someone who speaks English speaking to someone who speaks a different language, and they're screaming as if going louder is going to help the other person understand.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
We must be vigilant in sharing our stories and our truths as queer parents of color at every chance we get if we hope to see art imitate real life.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
The black community can be competitive and cautious when it comes to those we want put on display for the world to see and judge. We are a prideful people who believe that anything that will make us seem 'less than' should be hidden.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
We're so divided as a world that we don't often have the opportunity to sit down and talk to people who are different to us. We're so ready to always be right that we sometimes forget it's OK to listen.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Although someone's vote may hurt me by supporting the structures in place that hold people of colour, women, and LGBT+ people down, some people just don't realise that these structures exist. The way someone votes doesn't make them a bad person; it just means that, at the time, this was the best decision they thought they could make.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
While the Internet has allowed for some extraordinary progress in creating conversations about diversity, it also allows uninformed comments that one has made in the past to live forever.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
It is important to remember that if we treat people who could be allies as enemies, we can only alienate them from our cause.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Life experiences with oppression and homophobia often become internalized and can have detrimental effects on the development of positive sexual identity for Southern black gay men.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Homophobia, racism, and sexism are all rooted in the same oppression that causes a group of people to internalize the oppression they've experienced and then continue the cycle of abuse. Simply put, hurt people hurt people.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
A lot of times, we look at people who have disabilities as, 'Oh, we can't invite these people here or there.' And I hate that, because it's inappropriate. It's so weird to me when people say they don't have friends who have disabilities.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Bangkok is one of those places where it's so rich and full of tradition, but they're so open to different people - different gender expressions and gender identities. As a gay man, I never once felt uncomfortable there. As a black man, I never once felt uncomfortable.
Quote by -Karamo Brown
Literally, I look back on it now, and I often think to myself, 'Karamo you should have done better.' But that's the thing: when you're in that dark space, you can't do any better. And it's for people around you to say, 'You know what? I need to check in with you and be there to support you.'
