Givin' cookies: Gay sex in the hip hop world

I think the issue is that open homosexuality is leaving bourgie middle class black life, and being open in a street scene. Of course the attitude of "I fuck other men, but I am not gay" has always been very prevalent in the black commmunity. Homosexuality is definitely not tolerated in much of mainstream African-American culture.

I remember reading a study about young men in NYC that were in clinics for various reasons(non-hiv related) and the study found that black men who had been involved in sexual acts with men statistically claimed heterosexual status more often than men of other ethnicities. I think you could go into a long discussion about what the implications of this are in African American culture. This issue was discussed quite a bit when I was on the Afro-Futurist list awhile back.
