Clive Davis, the music industry legend known for discovering Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, recently announced (at 80) that he is bisexual, sparking conversations in many circles about the legitimacy of bisexuality among men. Even as we see an increase in the acceptance of people who identify themselves in terms that don’t include “heterosexual” in entertainment and politics, this tolerance isn’t afforded to everyone. There’s still a huge negative stigma about bisexual men, particularly within the African-American community after the “down low” hysteria of the late 1990s. From HIV transmission fears to religious ostracizing to outright social rejection, Black bisexual men face unique challenges in affirming themselves....
Discussions of sexuality, especially in Black communities, are nuanced and require further examination into what influences our acceptance of self, and the hows and whys of our disclosure choices. Our connection to religion, for example, heavily influences our ideas and behaviors related to our sexuality. Black men especially can find themselves struggling with reconciling notions of “masculinity” in a society that’s emasculated them for centuries.
When same sex attraction is often equated with weakness among Black men, it can prove difficult for a man to even acknowledge his desires, much less openly express and act upon them. For more insight and perspective, I spoke with three Black men who identify as bisexual.

A full court press is on to make the black community follow Obama on this issue.....even though blacks vote for biblical marriage when given a chance....like last year in North Carolina.

The queer man Gore Vidal ( Bill Buckley’s words not mine ) has always theorized that he does not believe in homosexuality.
Vidal believes that EVERY PERSON, MAN OR WOMAN has the innate “gene” (for want of a better word) towards bi-sexuality.
All it takes is for that special “spark” (e,.g jail time, loneliness, a bad relationship, etc. ) for the “other” attraction to be triggered.
Buckley countered that the better word to use is “temptation”. But Vidal never used that word.
Story has it he is not just Bi-sexual but rumors has it when he travels he travels to certain countries for hmmm let me put it this way, story has it that he is music’s version of Senator Robert Menendez except it is not little girls that he prefers.
I think the “black community” has assimilated “screw anything with a pulse” pretty thoroughly already. Any person, regardless of race, who views himself as basically a pop-up ejaculation machine really can’t give a bleep what orifice or object he uses to get off.
The leftist favorite weasel word.
One of the best lines in comedy. LOL
Of course he's bisexual, he likes men AND boys.
Bisexuals:
“Any port in a storm...”
There sure as hell isn't!
I believe it was Hemingway who said ”there are no bisexuals, just fairies who screw women.”
Every day this country gets all too close to the fictitious political climate in the book: “The Turner Diaries”. I submit today, our government is in complete alignment with that book minus a few punctuation errors.
What was correctly deemed at its time as a racist book is looking more like a highly accurate prophecy.
You would be hard pressed to see much difference in this Administration along with their propaganda ministry in the MSM, and the government described in “The Turner Diaries”.
In case any forgot, this book received a little more attention after Tim McVeigh used high capacity assault rifles to blow up a Federal government building after the same Federal government used water balloons to incinerate US citizens at Waco. /slight sarcasm
After Waco it is amazing how well the State run media has controlled the terms of debate over the gun issue.
At Waco, we witnessed with our own lying eyes what weapons the US government was willing to use against those, who up until a government assault, had not fired a shot at any level of LEO. Seems bull dyke Janet Reno did not limit her goons to 7 rounds/mag when attacking US citizens.
Old Clive has taken more balls off the chin than a big league catcher. Who CARES? This dirt road romeo is BORING and creepy.
On a more serious note, it wasn't all that long ago when the average black family was strong and had pride. Black parents raised their kids with a Bible in one hand and sometimes a belt in the other. Dinner time was important. And getting an education meant having a real future.
In the summers my sister and I would stay with our Grandparents in rural NC. One day we snuck down to the river and watched the black church baptize members in the shallow water where the pier was on Old Mill Road. It was joyous! And it was beautiful.
They voted in one to the WH.
Response: Is it time yet to ask the questions; Does anyone care? Should anyone care?
The HIV rate in the black population shows they have accepted it a long time ago on the down low. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Just make babies and die.
Ol Clive is too old to any kind of Romeo
Funny, before Chris Hitchens supported the Iraq War, he was a good friend of Gore Vidal’s. He says he learned that there’s a difference between homosexual ‘acts’ and being a ‘true’ homosexual. I guess Hitchens wondered because he fooled around with a lot of boys while in boarding school....True story.
