I totally agree about the projection of hyper sexuality on black bodies through the lens of colonization and slavery. However, white gay men also have taken upon this idea of hyper sexuality. My concern is have black men also fallen into the trap of using sex as a way of identifying as a gay men? Because we as African Americans are Americans and we often try to emulate the larger society. Thank you so much young kin folk! This was golden. If we meet one day you better not call me an old head!
Old Head here. Interesting conversation. I agree their needs to be more cross generational dialogue. Many forget that those of us still here lost many amazing friends, lovers, etc doing the HIV/Aid pandemic . Also many of us who are Boomers are leaving this earth plan, like the rest of the Boomer population, & with a whole wealth of knowledge...
Great topic! We Def need blk lgbtq spaces! And i fear that there could be an issue with finally being able to enact our desires, but the context (and the why) can make it a habit of sexualization Thanks for a great discussion
