Let's get real. Obama is bisexual, not gay. Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little) may or may not have been Obama's biological father, but there is no evidence that I know of indicating that Malcolm was homosexual.
Melissa Harris-Perry has to bend over backwards to deal with these revelations in this panel discussion on the biography:

While living in Flint, Michigan, his roommate noticed that instead of sleeping in the room they were sharing, Malcolm sneaked down the hall to spend the night with a gay transvestite named Willie Mae.
In New York, two of Malcolm's friends from Michigan remember bumping into him at the YMCA, where Malcolm bragged he earned money servicing "queers". Later, Malcolm worked as a butler to a wealthy Boston bachelor, William Paul Lennon. According to Malcolm's sidekick Malcolm Jarvis, he was paid to sprinkle Lennon with talcum powder and bring him to orgasm.
