John R Gordon is an Afrocentric white gay male writer〔 resident in Shepherds Bush, London, England. Although he was a "white person from a white suburb", according to Gordon, in the 1980s he became deeply interested in black cultural figures such as James Baldwin, Malcolm X and Frantz Fanon, and they have influenced his work ever since.〔 ==Early work== Between 1993 and 2001 Gordon published three ground-breaking novels of black gay British life, ''Black Butterflies'', ''Skin Deep'', and ''Warriors & Outlaws''. In 1995 he directed his play ''Wheels of Steel'', about a closeted young thug paralysed in a joyriding accident and his flamboyant male nurse, at the Gate Theatre, London. It starred Rikki Beadle-Blair and Karl Collins, who went on to play each other's estranged husbands in Beadle-Blair's Channel 4 series ''Metrosexuality''. He wrote a 1999 sitcom pilot ''The Melting Pot'' about a macho black British man (Felix Dexter) coming to terms with his long-lost Jamaican brother's homosexuality. Although it never made it beyond Channel 4's Sitcom Festival to television, ''the Independent'' praised it for offering innovative characters and situations.〔James Rampton, "Comedy: Situation vacant", The Independent, 07 July 1999, http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/comedy-situation-vacant-1104780.html〕 It also starred Terry Alderton.
