I don’t know why I keep getting emails like this one when it should be obvious that I have gay male friends and I love them. I don’t have love for cowards who hide in the closet their entire lives and tiptoe out only when it’s convenient for them (ie, Ricky Martin).
Sorry, but I’m not apologizing for being real. So let’s all say goodbye to Jason and wish him well on his journey to other blogs where, hopefully he will discover that life is full of little disappointments.
Hello, Sandra. I’m a regular reader and have been since about 2007-one question: Do you hate gay men? It appears so. You glorify lesbian relationships but find disgust with any male who even thinks about being with another man. You seem to hold the point of view that gay men are responsible for all the ills confronting Black America. The last time I checked, they were not the ones selling crack, killing and robbing folks, going to jail repeatedly, leaving women with multiple fatherless children…and the AIDS thing. OK, you can’t blame gay men for Black women having unsafe sex with NON gay men. Gay men don’t like women, remember? Black women are disproportionately affecting the high AIDS rate because of their own actions. Go to any “str8” Black club and you’ll see why.
Its bad enough you condemn violence on the one hand-and then glorify convicted gun slinger T.I. and that dreadful Tiny on the other, which can be understood considering you are presumably (at least I hope) being paid handsomely for your deference. But to perpetually degrade gay men is just beyond the pale because gay men are a big part of the reason you are so popular. They love you and you know it. Too bad its a one way street. You stake your claim as an influential music industry insider; if so, then how could you of all people disregard the fact that gay men may make up a larger constituency on your site than just the silly over-opionated women who dominate your posts? You love who you love; why can’t you let other people do the same? You’re a gifted writer who wastes a lot of time dehumanizing an over-victimized minority. As for me, I wish you well but the virulent homophobia has become too much for me and I’m OUT.
Thanks for helping make the world a safer place for bigots everywhere.
Jason
