Homophobia and the Black Community
I’ve discussed homophobia as it related to race before, and I’ve also said that I disagree with the notion that the black community is no more homophobic than any other community. I think the deep-rooted misogyny that runs rampant in the black community combined with the masculinity issues and the influence of the southern baptist church all converge to create the problem we have.
Here’s a video of a conference in Atlanta discussing a number of issues related to homosexuality in the black community.
I think the gentleman in the glasses made the most poignant remarks, but what stuck out to me the most was the idiot in the audience who seemed to think he made a “choice” to be heterosexual.
Thanks so much for this video! I will use it to start dialogue!
