Straight Black men can't express their sexuality because they're wholly confused about what even constitutes a being straight and fear being labeled gay so much they don't veer off from the beaten path and IF they do it's normally hidden for a long while.
Straight Black men won't recognize trans women as women and kill them simply for existing or when people d find out they've been involved with one. Hence the disproportionate rates of death in my view. Not all of it is that, but that inflates those numbers.
It's Black men afraid of anything remotely close to anal even if it's a woman on the receiving end. Blame religion for that. The idea of sodomy. Just as irrational as Muslims not wanting to eat pork imo.
This thread is a response and further meditations on the barriers straight Black men face towards exploring their sexuality as influenced by @beenABlaze_. I'm sure if niggas were less ready to clown (which is rooted in homophobia) they boys there would be more exploration too
but when you are so afraid of being ragged on and made fun of to the point where you feel like you are the runt of a group (bottom of the hierarchy) You dead that shit really quick.
