The writer's style is very amateur and lacks cohesiveness, which has not held my interest as I struggle to finish; it's just quite boring to me. <BR/><BR/>I could care less about the topic he chooses to tackle, it's the delivery I'm most at ends about. I've heard that it's being billed as this tell all, but what intelligent adult reader is today still blind to the fact that this gay/bisexual culture is built within the entertainment industry? <BR/><BR/>My advice to the reader: don't get your hopes up if you're looking for name dropping, etc. To the author: I'm pretty sure you'll never work again in your profession after this anyways; you just should've went for the gusto and put it all out there, names and all.El Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410429286197899873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804477360535412046.post-64136028812936797922008-10-16T15:51:00.000-04:002008-10-16T15:51:00.000-04:00I have a cousin thats gay but not openly gay.

Like everybody knows/speculates about it but hes been kinda feminine his whole life so when he comes around its not a suprise and the day he decides to come out the closet fully. They gone be like I already knew lol. <BR/><BR/>I'd be pissed if my parents refered to me their gay son. I will be a closet case to the day I die lol. Its somthing that makes being the oldest harder to come out. Not that I want to come out but how do you tell your parents I like both sexes and your dad and mom can both physically whoop yo ass lol?<BR/><BR/>Good post JerzeePromiscuous Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079105260714841103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804477360535412046.post-13023468813299972342008-10-16T13:59:00.000-04:002008-10-16T13:59:00.000-04:00I agree with him.

There are exceptions to every rule, but, for the most part, you could be the unibomber and white families will still love you. <BR/><BR/>Black families, on the other hand, sweep everything under the rug.Mr. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231406990703923642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804477360535412046.post-50414899047963086492008-10-14T16:33:00.000-04:002008-10-14T16:33:00.000-04:00My family has been very open with including the ga...My family has been very open with including the gay members of our family.

We've always been accepted as well as our partners or significant others. It is really a non-issue in my family, but I realize it isn't like most black families. <BR/><BR/>That said, I have never heard my mother refer to me as her GAY son or my sister as her LESBIAN daughter. I don't think it's out of shame or fear, but just that we are her children just like our straight siblings ... period.houstonmacbrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10744783297181195853noreply@blogger.com
