What
does it take to get a teen-centric show like Moesha to do a gay
episode? Well, we talked to the writer of “Labels,” Demetrius Andre
Bady, who explains how the idea arose, how the final product
differed from the original script, and what he thinks the legacy of
the episode is today. Even better? He tells us which of the Moesha
cast members pulled him aside to praise the bravery it took to push
for this gay-inclusive script. Dr. Alfred L. Martin returns to ask
questions and jokingly accuse Demetrius of malice. .
BTW,
this interview will make a lot more sense if you listen to
our episode all about Moesha’s
gay episode.
