“Now, you ook at something like the Trayvon Martin case. Where were all those GBM then??? This was a young BM who was viciously killed, w/NO weapon, & NOBODY gives a fuck, not even BM whether gay, straight or otherwise. That is sad & disappointing.” Did the OP follow the news at all during the Martin case? No weapon? Nobody cared? ---

For the sake of argument, imagine a gay black guy reads this and is convinced of the arguments. Then what? Is he supposed to somehow through sheer force of will make himself to be attracted to women? Or just ignore his attraction to men and be celibate? Or did I miss the point, and she really wants them to come out as white? ---

No silly, he’s supposed to sublimate everything he is, marry a woman, father children and then spend his life pretending to be happy and raising them in a nuclear family. ---

It’s possible that keeping it on the DL is acceptable, just so long as our hypothetical gay BM does not shirk his responsibility to the Black Community by not being a father. Incidentally, also not clear what the OP’s position is on two gay BMs getting together, possibly getting married, and raising kid(s) is. One supposes it would result in a black superman due to double-the-fathering. ---

I can’t stop laughing at this: “On top of all that, from being easy o spread disease due to the anal walls being sensitive & tissue easier to tear, from the trauma of penetration NOT meant to happen. to an issue of remnants of waste/excrment to some Men injuring their Bowels(happened to a Gay friend, took him to the hospital)…” I’m hearing TLC’s Waterfalls as “Aaaaaaanal walls…” 😃 And the whole “I’m not insensitive” attitude/disclaimer with "(happened to Gay friend took him to hospital). 😃 ---

I didn’t read the OP (and won’t); I just scanned it… However, what I did scan and then this post - now I’m humming Fleetwood Mac - “Youuuuuu make lovin fun.” I think I’ll exit now and listen to some Fleetwood Mac instead of reading hate speech. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > 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. I know i am going to be sorry for asking this, but Are you serious? What do you consider to be a very real problem? What is the percentage of black men who engage in homosexual activity as compared to the rest of the population as a whole? Seriously, I’ve heard the phrase “down low”, but never heard that this was an actual problem in the black community. Oh, and is only US blacks, or does this go for all blacks world-wide? ---

What the fuck. I know lots of straight black men, maybe I should start a matchmaking service. I’ve been sitting on a goldmine all this time and didn’t even realize it. ---

Yes, your friend couldn’t find any single black men because they are all on the DL. I’m sure that was the reason. It wasn’t because she’s ugly as fuck, I’m sure. ---
