Well, I can kinda understand the ire. It’s really the sense of entitlement that rankles. Instead of being satisfied to be “gay”, “black”, or a “man”, or even just two of the three, they have to go for the trifecta. It’s just greedy, is what I say! :mad: ---

As a gay man, I was ready to get on board with the OP and hear her out, but then I realized that I’m not black. ☹ How does the OP feel about gay white men? ---

Fathers were taken out the home, due to strict Govt assistance programs that required NO MAN could live in the household. Many blacks being lower class, needed these programs to provide for themselves & children. This was the beginnning of the single mother culture we currently reside in. Forgive me for spewing data here, and I know you’re unlikely to ever see this, but I sort of feel like tilting at a windmill today, as there are four papers to write, three doctors to call and two Medicare packets (and a Partridge in a Pear Tree) I should be doing right now that I’m procrastinating. That’s backwards, dear. [1968 was the year the “man in the house” rule was found unconstitutional and struck down.](http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Man-in-the-House+Rule) By 1969, every state allowed a man in the house of welfare recipients, and it’s allowed in every state to this day. So I hope that really isn’t what you’re hanging your whole treatise on. Oh, and Stupid Argument is Stupid. ---

This OP made me think in leetspeak! Wot? Wut? Whut? Teh suxxor! I find it interesting that a black boy who grows up without a father will be turning into a homosexual. Doesn’t seem to matter WHY dad is gone, the impact on his son is homosexuality. :dubious: I’d like to see that study, please. Black boy with dad at home = straight Black boy with dad killed in accident = gay Black boy with dad who divorced mother = gay Black boy with dad who got lost on the way home from work = gay ---

Coming soon. You’re welcome. There do exist people who believe that Obama has had gay lovers murdered to keep them from going to the press and blowing the whistle. :dubious: That the men in question were murdered is easy to verify, although whether they were gay is something only they would know for sure. And I have yet to see one of these stories on any news source, legitimate or not; it’s all on blogs. And there was that guy who claimed during the 2008 campaign that he gave Obama a BJ at some time, but he was known to have mental health issues (duh) and has also claimed to do the same thing to other very heterosexual public figures. As for black men being on the down low, that is a very real problem. I can think of several black women who only wanted to date other black men, but opened up their options because they just couldn’t find a single black man in the age group they wanted who was fully straight. But the OP is totally mistaken as to how people of any race become gay. ---

Paging Garrett Morris… Totally off-topic only not really, a friend of mine, who happens to be black, has a number of gay black friends and relatives. After hearing her mention the fifth or sixth one, I asked her if she knew any straight black men, and it took her three days to remember one. True story. ---
