Afro gur...
what? i was being serious.
I just talked to a guy last night who's in hiding from his friends and family. I feel bad for him because it's like he's locked in a box or something, shut off from them.
Honestly I can't understand it but I have to take into consideration that I have a very accepting family. My father never made me feel any type of way about myself, even before I told him my truth, I knew that once I told him nothing would change. I mean, he'd have to BLIND or deaf not to know.
And he still loves me.
I know that once I meet a man I'm serious about, I can introduce him to my father. Not as my friend for a cover up either.
Not everyone has that same feeling or environment of acceptance. That presence of tolerance must be created in order for someone to feel comfortable. If you see your father speaking in tongues as some pastor condemns homosexuals, are you going to come out the closet to him? Whether you have feminine tendencies or not.
I feel for our young black men who have to go through these things, because it's NOT their fault. They don't choose who they're attracted to and they don't choose their families.
Ugh I'm climbing this fucking soapbox but I'm riled up now.
Lemme step down
