If church people didn't condemn homosexuality so much, allowed people to be comfortable being themselves and preached acceptance to their congregations...perhaps the stigma of being gay in the black community would diminish and so would the DL and AIDs epidemics. So many boys engage in risky shit instead of being able to own who they are, be comfortable in it and explore meaning relationships with other men.
Just maybe.
In many ways, "The Church" has hindered the black community.
