The DL and the black community

I know my thoughts and beliefs about the black community will be defended by many, and possilbly strike a nerve in others who decide to remain silent.

The black community has been less loving and accepting of SGLM (same gender loving men) for decades, and I do not see this changing any time soon. SGLM have been ostracized,ridiculed and made to feel less than a man because they love men. The churches preach hell and damnation to hard legs that want hard legs. They say we choose this lifestyle. Now come on people, who would choose a lifestyle that is shunned by society and told it is immoral, made to believe you are deviant and un-natural.

I was never faced with an option to choose between being gay or to be heterosexual. I was never raped, molested or wanted to be a woman either. But as far back as I can remember I have had an attraction to the same sex, so thus I am a sglm who enjoys the company of other sglm's. No, I do not choose to consider an effeminant man who has not clearly chosen if he wants to identify with being a man or woman. But I appreciate the company of other masculine men who are attracted to masculine men. Now granted there are those that choose to be with effeminate men, I am just not one of them.

I believe the reason why so many black men are what society has decided to call them on the downlow is because of the attitudes of black america. I have sat through too many sermons of ministers degrading homosexual men. Only later to have been caught on their knees giving a blow job or waiting to be mounted from behind. Yes I know that not all black ministers are not under-cover gay men. But if Christ speaks of love and salvation for all why are you not trying to reach these men who need support and someone to listen to them. If they dont have you who else will they turn to.

Why not address HIV in the churches? This is where you have the masses of people and a captive audience. Too many of our black women are being infected daily from this dreadful disease. Sisters make your men strap up and stop saying "No, not my man he could never be gay". Your husbands, boyfriends and fuck partners are the ones that I run into the most. They are on the sex phone lines and internet sites looking for ass, and dick while you are out making money to keep the lights on.

Yes, its sad but it is true. I am not condoning this behavior because it is wrong. If you are cheating on your partner the least you can do is protect your home and strap a condom on, since you are not man enough to be honest and admit that you like men.

Just something to think about.
