@expressyourselfblackman: Fellas, are we ready to have this conversation? For context, when I spoke about loving another man I was talking about the love that stems from friendships, not a romantic relationship. I grew up saying “no homo” and “pause” but I stopped saying both a few years ago because I realized that it was reinforcing the idea that there was something “wrong” with being gay, which I don’t believe. It was also forcing me to police my expression in a way that wasn’t productive. AND it was crippling the relationships I had with my male friends because I didn’t feel comfortable expressing how much I loved and cared for them because I thought it would be seen as gay. It’s interesting how most men long for true support and intimacy from their friends, but don’t see how our beliefs sometimes make what we’re looking for EXTREMELY difficult to attain. I’m interested in your thoughts. Feel free to chime in below 👀👇🏿 Credit: Primary Colors Podcast Speaker: Express Yourself Black Man #fyp

Reminds me of being in the closet. You filter thoughts, interests, opinions, the way you walk, talk etc to basically be something your not out of fear

Truthfully when a person is confident in their sexuality, they will not feel the need to prove themselves.

This is true but stop worrying about what others think and just live your life. You know you’re not gay so why care?
