True Blood's Lafayette Reynolds (ft Ira Madison III)
Episode 10
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
Lafayette Reynolds was the reigning butch queen in True Blood's Bon Temps, Louisiana. He was a short order cook, a medium, and the town's one-stop drug dealing shop but through a heartfelt performance by Nelsan Ellis, Lafayette became a fan favorite. Writer and podcaster Ira Madison III joins Black Queer Canon to discuss Lafayette, what he meant on the show and what he meant for fans. Black Queer Canon is a production of Slayzhon. It is created, hosted and executive produced by Mikelle Street and Tre’vell Anderson. Chris Rodgers is our associate producer and editor. Our theme is the track “Soul” by Neverending Nina. The project is supported by Critical Minded, an initiative to invest in cultural critics of color cofounded by The Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Ford Foundation.Subscribe for weekly episodes.Visit Black Queer Canon at blackqueercanon.com.Follow the show on Instagram @SlayzhonFollow Tre’vell Anderson @RayzhonFollow Mikelle Street @MikelleStreet
