The Wire kicks off its new season this Sunday on HBO. Michael K. Williams, who plays a “modern day Robin Hood” who happens to be gay, talks to AfterElton about how his character's sexuality is just one part of a larger masculinity issue he hopes to challenge with his portrayal: “We (black men) can't communicate to each other, so we acquaint everything with being a man [and] show no emotion and nothing weak.
