In the Black community there are issues that become prolonged, are swept under the rug, and others that are just blatantly ignored. While on a friend of mines Facebook page I came across a video of Black men speaking on prison relationships with other Black men.I was very honored (though not sure if that is the word) at how honest they were. after the video was ended I decided to browse around and watch the other video along the "related" strip.I came across this incredible video that is an exchange between Gay Black men;I recall one saying "most Black women are unappreciative of the fact of an openly gay Black man living his life by the terms he sets, I think they would find that more appreciative than the fact of being mislead". I agree with him, and how he explains its effect of it onto the relationships we have with one another.
The idea of the church and the openness to gays also stuck with me. A great friend of mines entered a switch gender contest on our senior trip, and when the pictures were viewed by members of his church he was told that he could no longer play there as well.


There is also another video (the one below). I think that he touches on the idea of sagging your pants, and how it originated from prison. I also admired how one of the men spoke on "homosexual" behaviors that "straight" men engage in. For those of you who are reading this I would very much appreciate it if you could email me/Facebook me you thoughts and feelings on this. There is so much that can be done and said.

This is the last video (promise), When the "straight" man talked about how he hasn't excepted the fact that he is gay. That's also something else I found powerful within it of itself. There are more words that can express this but Ill end it here!
