Abstract

In this critique, we articulate Black queer images relating to same-sex relationships and marriages portrayed in the film Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom. Grounded in a quare framework, we focus in particular on the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality, and class in the text. The themes of heteronormativity and White queer normativity are engaged through the Black gay male characters and through the motifs of consumerism, monogamy, and marriage. We argue that the characters perform a Black gay male fantasy in line with mainstream American cultural ideals.
