Yea, this is going on heavy in the sports arena. I refuse to believe that blacks are the only gay athletes in professional major sports, however it seems black gay athletes are being pushed to the forefront as "freedom fighters" or something. Yes, blacks make up the majority of players for the NFL and NBA, but it just seems contrived to be quiet honest.
I'm not lost on the fact that whenever a chance is given to show black men in a less than "masculine" light, it is pounced upon.
Peace
See that's the thing.White people come out all the time, Ellen Page came out last week. Why is it a problem if it's a black athlete?
See that's the thing.
It's not a big deal at all with a white person coming out because REGARDLESS they have privilege. The patriarch is evident. A white gay male still has more privilege than a hetero black male so of course he's no comparison to a black gay male.
Blacks do not have privilege. Black straight men. Black gay men. Black queer men. Black straight women. Black lesbian women. Black trans women. etc.
So for a straight black man to let go of the ounce of respect he'd receive from black peers because he's a "real man"/ straight is tragic. He's already viewed as less than, adding gay on the equation is just fueling it.
That's why it's such a big deal.
The truth is blacks don't tolerate black lgbt which is why a good majority are outcasted and homeless, using drugs as vices. Doesn't happen in white families. They get over it.
Another thing to think about is.
Gay black man are gay bashed the most of the lgbt.
Black trans women are raped in prisons the most. They are profiled by police more than straight black men (gay black men are too). They are the highest murdered marginalized people right now (in black communities) and most aren't killed for "tricking" people but just living their lives and enduring transphobia.
We should be busy building up black communities and focusing on black men and women having strong families. Let the gays deal with their own problems. I'm all for gay rights but we black people have bigger fish to fry.See that's the thing.

well the downlow part is because those masculine types I guess have some kinda orientation crisis and hide behind their masculinity. I've noticed that they throw it around so much that just seemingly normal masculine cats are accused of being downlow brothers... it's like masculinity is in decline so when they actually see someone doing their thing and yet is secure in their masculinity at the same time in their head there's no way they can be straight. Take Will Smith for example.this is interesting. i noticed that too... black women love and embrace those feminine flamboyant types over the masculine ones.
infact, they call all the masculine ones "downlow" and hate them with a passion, i don't really know why.
