Attorney-turned-novelist Crystal McCrary, who was married to former New York Knicks player Greg Anthony, is gearing up for a new venture.The television and film producer will star in a new Sundance Channel reality series about four straight women and their gay best friends called 'Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys.'
McCrary will appear on the show with her best friend, Nathan Hale Williams, a Chicago-born, dancer and attorney who also produced (and appeared in) the GLAAD Award-nominated movie 'Dirty Laundry' alongside McCrary.
Williams also created the short-lived television show 'My Model Looks Better Than Your Model' and the Centric series 'Leading Men' and 'Leading Women.'
Together, McCrary and Williams were named 'Power Couple of the Year' by a New York-based gay magazine.
The show will follow Nathan, who is single for the first time in a decade, as he pursues his quest to become a father. And McCrary, a mother of two, will have to determine what part she plays in his new chapter of becoming a parent.
On the literary front, McCrary's first novel, 'Homecourt Advantage,' about the wives and girlfriends of NBA stars, became a best-seller, and she is currently adapting it to a movie. For her second book, 'Gotham Diaries,' McCrary co-wrote the novel with Spike Lee's wife, Tonya Lewis Lee.
'Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys' premieres Dec. 7 at 10 p.m. EST with back-to-back episodes airing every Tuesday night in December

We Are All The Same Blood!
Acts 17:26 Says, From One man blood, God The Father of us All made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole world or earth, and God determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
Eph 1: 9, Apostle says, And God made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He, God The Father of us all purposed in Christ Jesus,
Eph 1:10 To be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment to bring all things in Heaven and Earth together under One Head, even Christ Jesus,
Eph 1:22, And God The Daddy and Father of us all placed all things under His Feet and appointed Him, Christ His Beloved Son Jesus to be The Head over everything for the Church,
Eph 1:23, Which is Christ body, All Believers, Christians, Saints, the fullness of God who fills everything in every way.
Please, Stop Hating We Are One Blood!
" Stop Hating Me because we are Family"

I have really been paying attention to the women that not only love Gay men as very close plantonic friends but also to those women who knowing date and marry gay/bisexual men. The men who are gay or bi are attracted to these women because they have male features. I have seen it so many times - either the woman looks masculine but she isn't gay or she has a very aggressive personality. Look at Crystal's face - she could easily be a man in drag. It's the same with Eddie Murphy's ex wife - she looked like a man too and Eddie, as much as he is a great artist is bi-sexual period.

Another topic the black community will never talk openly and with any damn sense about. Our secrets keep us sick people. We might as well put it on the table and talk about it because as a few of the really intelligent people that visit this website have been trying to tell you it's out there and it's happening. I don't know why so many women believe that every woman that is married to a bi or gay man "didn't know" he was on the "downlow" she was "decieved". Well maybe he was on the DL from the community, but a whole lot of wives do know and have known all along. It just wasn't your business.
