    TLC said it best “What about your friends.” People will change it up on you, when you fall in love, and decide to live in your truth people have a problem with you.

      Yes some people will and some will support you for who you are.

    So glad to hear black gay men having this discussion. There’s so many things that don’t get talked about just because it’s uncomfortable but that’s why it will always be. We have to talk about real ish and stop pretending that everything is ok. ❤

    This video hit me hard! So many of my friendships have drifted to nothing because of me being gay. After me and my lady moved in together I felt like so many friends condemned me for actually going though with it. Its hard when you build these "unbreakable" bonds but they become conditional when it involves sexuality. Y'all hit so many point in this video that I thought y'all was talking directly to me lol. Its their loss, you both deserve friendships that are great and I pray we all get that🤍!

    • @TheSSShow
      @TheSSShow  Год назад +1

      Yes, this is so true. We're glad it hit home for you because we know that so many of us deal with this... Some of us more than others but we pray that each of us get the ability to cultivate genuine friendships that aren't based off of our sexuality but who we are as people.

      Don't allowed anyone to to choose your future in gay relationships it never last as you described
      Unless you engage in a business enterprise it is most profitable but that never happens I am talking from the past!!!

    I was very fortunate to have family and friends that didn’t change. It is like nothing ever happened. I still interact the exact same way with them like I did before coming out. I do have an older brother who still has moments of using “that’s gay” as if it a negative thing though. I know he loves me and doesn’t mind me being gay, but he is so used to speaking that way for so long that it will probably take time for it to get out of his system.
    So I guess it all just depends on how lucky you are with the people around you. You can only hope things stay the same but if they don’t, just keep it moving.
    Happy for you both and wish you two the best.

    Black men have ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH those of us who are lovers of men. Thats the term my grandmother used. I love it. The church is one of the biggest culprits. Another thing that I've discovered is that some of the brothers who are staunch homophobes are terrified because of their own deeply suppressed attraction to men themselves. Their own self hatred is thrown at you. We become their whipping post. Black men who are comfortable in their own sexuality will have no issues with us. You guys are doing a beautiful job with your website continue the black community needs this. Especially other young men like yourselves who need to hear your stories so they don't have to feel alone and that There are other young men like you guys who know and understand their pain. Don't let religion and it's lies get between you and your truth. Karl Marx put it beautifully when he said "Religion is the opium of the people". Especially black folks. In my opinion. Keep up the good work.

    Sometimes people bring up the issue of gayness at an awkward moment in the conversation when that topic has never come up. For a lot of folk it is because they are uncomfortable with the issue. Sometimes it is uncomfortable because they have a lot of latent tendencies. The gay community has been a trend-setter with language, clothing and ideas. The "straight" community appropriates certain behaviors because a lot of "queer" people live their lives with such ease. I like your videos.

  • @gregoryayee2112
    @gregoryayee2112 Год назад +2

    To be honest I have lost alot of friends both males and females when they found out that I am gay. My family is the very same. Over the years I have learned to stand alone and be strong without them. As long as you love and accept yourself for who you are and God loves you then you are good.

    Hello guys! What a discussion. This topic one can spend hours engaged in conversation. I have a few straight guy friends and that’s because the few I deal with do not assume and has respect and morals embedded deep inside and they have an open mind. If people can’t accept me for me then I don’t need that negativity in my life. Mad respect to the straight guys that is confident within themselves that value the friendship of a gay guy.

    • @renealexander2703
      @renealexander2703 Год назад +1

      @melvinstevenson2550, straight guys can be confident within themselves and still not value a gay guy. That has nothing to do with it. And comes off as a bit arrogant.

    This conversation needs to be deeper. To be continued! What a powerful and at times painful topic. WOW! Some friends that are Christian will say: Give it all to Jesus. Being gay is from the pits of hell. I have noticed that there is a distance that was not there before. Do we not disclose that aspect of ourselves?

    When your different you don't notice the millions out there that love you for who you are but you just notice that one person who's just a thorn in your flesh. I think gay guys tend to have more female straight friends than male straight friends. A straight guy who is extremely homophobic is secretly gay and suffering from internalized homophobia (talking from experience), I have a lot of straight friends who are very gay friendly. I'm happy that this was actually discussed and also happy to hear you both experiences. I beseech that all gay people should try coming out to there straight friends bcos you would be surprised how accepting your friends would be to you 😍😘

  • @sexyeyez2000
    @sexyeyez2000 2 года назад +4

    I told one of my straight friends that I was into men, and he started sending me pics of transsexuals and wanted me to help him find one, and then he started to like me, and over time we got real close but every time we would get close he would push me away. I would ask this guy to go bowling, or to go get something to eat, and he would stand me up, and this went on for three years and I have not heard from him in months now.

      @sexyeyez2000, your friend is not straight. Straight men are not into transsexuals/the same sex. Straight men are only into the opposite sex.

    Like no one can tell you how to be. Nobody can tell anyone else how to respond. Everyone has their own comfort level. It is getting dark cause creation doesn't work by desires. Creation has its own rhythm, yet man has free will. Be you and let others be themselves as well.

    Hi guys I am very new to the both of you. This is my view on your topic as a gay gentleman. Once a gay man comes out to is straight male friends the dynamics will automatically change. These changes are base on the fact that they may not accept the way we choose to love, they may not accept us or want to be around us anymore because of how the world view or see us. They may not accept us because they themselves don't want people or the public to judge them or call them gay too. To them gay is like a disease and they don't want to catch it. Like I said this my view.

    4:10 The more oppression of sexuality there is, the more the oppressed focus on sex. Remove the oppression, and the more we can embrace deep relationships and bloom into fully-rounded people. As for straight friends, I am still in touch with my school friends after fifty years; I have never liked the idea of living in a gay ghetto, as some gay people seem to do.

  • @sexyeyez2000

    My favorite cousin and I had a bad fallout because he called me and said someone told him that I was gay and had wrote a guy a letter on Instagram, which was not true, and he said he went on my page to check, and I told him to not call me anymore with the messy stuff, and I then made my Instagram account private.

    Great conversation, however, why do we must put a label on being gay. Love who love without the label, gay, straight, bi and so on. It's normal for people to judge what they don't understand or see a reflection of themselves. As young man that like the same sex and lived in Jamacia, they would have killed me and my family for being homosexual. I liked the same sex at a very early age and struggled with my sexuality for many years. I dated males and females as I was DL. I can honestly say, I was born who I am, in love with the same sex. It took many years to accept it and love who I am. One thing to remember, fake people and haters including family is a part of life. Just live fearless in the face of adversity.

    • @renealexander2703
      @renealexander2703 Год назад

      We need labels because it lets us know who is off limits. For example, a straight man is only into the opposite sex. Therefore it lets gay and bi men know that he is off limits and not interested.

    You are who you are and if they can't except that get rid of the toxicity!!! I value what people bring to the table not what are going. If we can't have conversation, enjoy similar or same interest I don't care straight or gay we will not click. I have been hit but I say politely that I am not interested whether straight or gay. There are so many things in the Bible that are against God's teachings but people try to decide which sim is the worst but at the end of the day all sins are equal in God's eyes!!! All humans on this earth will have things to answer for except babies.
