He Loves Me, He'sss aaaa Gay, He Loves Me, He'sss aaa Gay

To my extreme surprise, what I have found to be almost axiomatic, a damn near universal fact amongst the rainbow coalition, others found to be controversial and even debatable, "that Black men use White women as beards or covers." This single premise has brought an on and offline debate that has even shocked me...and I don't shock easily. To help provide some clarity to this matter, I have decided to put to use my years of both "closeted" and "out" personal gay life experiences and provide you a list of 5 telling signs that I use to help identify a Black Male Homosexual. Please keep in mind that there is no true formula for identifying a down low brotha and this list is not exhaustive. These tips are not to be viewed in isolation. One characteristic alone will tell you nothing. You must view the man as an entire package. If 1 trait applies, you can safely assume your man is not likely a homosexual. If 4 out of 5 traits apply to your man, give him my number. If you are a man and you are reading this and 3 or more apply (and you are cute, have no kids and have a job), email me (wink, xoxo):)

Gaysha's Tips

1. You think he is Gay. It takes so much for a women to think and eventually admit out loud that she thinks the man that she has been dating and sleeping with may be gay. A woman might think it on the first or second date, but if she has been dating a man for 4 months or more and is still thinking it, well there is your answer. This is especially true for Southern women. Unlike Northern women who are a little more hip to the game, Southern women will give a man the benefit of the doubt..TO THE 1oth power...(i.e. even the choir director and hair dresser in the South can get married). If that little voice is speaking sista, you better be listening.

2. The majority of your friends thinks he is gay. Boo, everybody ain't jealous of you and your man. If everybody else is seeing the same thang, then there is something there. And by everybody I don't mean those one or two close idiot girlfriends that you keep around that will agree with everything you say and never tell you the truth for fear of hurting your feelings. (i.e. nooooo you haven't gain any weight, you are the same size you were in college, and you know for yourself none of your damn clothes fit. If the truth commission tells you something (those girls who don't hold their tongue for nobody)..believe it....Trust me when I tell you, by the time they have the nerve to bring your man's sexuality to your attention, they have debated it endlessly amongst themselves.

3. He looks A LOT better than you and you know it and your friends know it. There is no Cinderella and no Prince Charming...If you don't know why somebody so obviously out of your league is with you and all your friends and strangers on the street are asking the same question...INDY 500 of RED FLAGS.

4. He has facial and beauty products that 1). you have never heard of, 2) his mama and sister didn't' give him and 3) he can't tell you how he came to start using the product. General rule: MEN DON'T KNOW SHIT....and this is even more so true you when you are dealing with the "Craig and nem"...The other General rule is "Gay Men Set the Trends. Any real estate broker, travel agent or hair stylist will tell you, if you want to find the next best thing, follow the gays....Men who don't have gay friends use Noxzema, nothing or Neutrogena, when they are trying to be fancy. If you start seeing to many high end products ask questions. (SUBTLE QUESTIONS....it's not an interrogation).


5. Finally, a man who has a whole group of guy friends that you don't really see to often and they travel, travel, travel............without you. Straight men are terrible at planning and organizing, with the exception of (bachelor party to Vegas or Miami). This is even more true if they are from the South. Gay men on the other hand are always in search of an even prettier, longer, piece of _____ (think about it) (i.e. they are constant travelers). Moral of the story, straight men don't usually travel in large packs more than once or year. If they do travel, the designation are common, fishing trips, Vegas, Miami, DR, PR and Brazil if they are fancy. If you don't know the "boys" and you haven't meet the girlfriends or wives, ask questions. If you think one of the "boys" is gay, HE PROBABLY IS.

There are at least 5 more traits that I can think of off the top of my head but these are the most telling in my humble, always right, opinion. If enough people request I will update the list.
