I am not sure gay is the new black considering it is still illegal in some countries while it remains illegal for them to marry in most places and is still legal to be fired for being gay. Kinda jumping the gun with pretending it is some cool fad, brah.

I'm pretty sure he means that hollywood and the rest of the media have turned being gay into a "fad" and a "trope" to suit their entertainment, and yeah, I would agree with him. Being gay is kind of the new "hip" thing in that regard. Part of implying that something is "the new black" is implying that its a superficial trend and not anything actually meaningful. Which is exactly what the media has done to the LGBT community.
