I mean I'm sure that's a great concern that was buried deep somewhere in my sub conscious... Like if I think he's gay, then that means he coult potentially, possibly, sleep with another man. Ahhh yes. Another third dimension to the whole puzzle.Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-576034786890436452009-01-17T15:33:00.000-05:002009-01-17T15:33:00.000-05:00Part of the reason this is an issue is because on ...Part of the reason this is an issue is because on the whole we tend to feel that men cannot be bisexual. That men (or particularly), black men, are either heterosexual, or homosexual.<BR/><BR/>Then, the fear is that if you (a woman) are in a relationship with a man of suspect sexuality, regardless of any and all other qualifications as a good man, husband, father, provider, lover, he WILL cheat on you with another man.<BR/><BR/>I think the underlying issue is not really a definition of manliness or an attraction to only men who are manly, but the idea that only heterosexual men have the potential to commit to a monogamous relationship. That commitment (to a woman) means nothing to a man if he also likes men sexually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-91012343732689777012009-01-16T17:47:00.000-05:002009-01-16T17:47:00.000-05:00@ Shana - Thank ya!

And this guy was saying as a Black man, he could take a gay man like Luther Vandross vs. someone who he played basketball at the park with. Twas interesting...<BR/><BR/>@ Anon - This line: <I>Heterosexual males are not necessarily "MEN" either tho LMAO!!!</I> is nothin' but the truth! But that's a topic for another day.<BR/>I had to go back and edit, because obviously homosexual men are men, but I think that us women have certain "ways" to try determine if a man is gay or straight. And we maybe off, either way, from time to time...<BR/>When you mention so many people in the industry being gay, I remember a conference I went to and a publicist was talking about her high profile black male client who told her to make sure it never got out that he was gay. And she said, "then stop going to gay clubs! Ain't no spinning that when you get caught."
