In the third installment of the conversation between Darnell and Thomas, Darnell talks about the welcoming nature of Coat of Colours and how seeking “to decrease the cultural divide and increase a multicultural presence” is defining the group. They also talk about how the white gay members of the community have a real sense of what it means to be marginalized, but often worry about their own space and don’t go any deeper.
