    I'm a gay black man born in the early 60's. Having seen and lived through homophobia and racism, I'm so proud when I see young men like Sampson and August living out loud. Thanks for all you do to lift us up Sampson!

    Angel was and still is one of my all time top 5 favorite shows and I remember when they brought in his character. Oh the excitement! He brought the perfect balance to the series and was such a natural. I'd love to see him in more supernatural based series.

    You know how when you're a kid and an adult does something Grown...now in theory you know this is a thing, but like realizing it in the moment is always different. Some of this verbiage is really hitting me like...oh, J August Richards is really a Grown Ass Man out here!

    I first saw J. August Richards's art in the 1990s when he played on the tv series, 'Angel'. I've enjoyed his performances in so many productions since then. Regarding your interview with this talented young man, Sampson, once again you show how inviting, yet incisive your interviews are, all without the sense of sensationalism. I love how the conversation embraces the core of our tofauti (lgbtq) community, and that is our history and culture of blackness. I also love what Mr. Richards says about love and relationships. KUDOS, GUYS!!!

    I've never seen or heard of J. August Richards before now. How'd that happen, lol. But anyway I thoroughly enjoyed what he had to say. I don't know if I'd want to know him in real life but I appreciate his outlook and his wisdom. Thanks for this one.
