ELOQUENT FURY



REVOLUTIONARY AFRICAN TRUTH

EXPRESSLY FOR RADICAL INTELLECTUALS WHO SEEK KNOWLEDGE
   (*******WARNING: HAZARDOUS TO NEOCON DELUSION*******)

SEMANTICS AND SELLOUTS:

THE LOW DOWN ON THE DOWN LOW

No reality is bliss. Some fools think that homosexuals live in same sex nirvanas. We do not. Most of us are just as confused by our relationships as most heterosexuals. There is a thin line between love and hate. There is an even thinner line between discretion and deception.

When homosexuals choose to live in closets, that is suicidal discretion. When they choose to woo one heterosexual while they romance multiple homosexuals on the side, that is deadly deception. Discretion is prerogative. Deception is deceit.

"DL Brothaz" are the flavors of the month. I loathe this new and twisted "DL/Down Low" phenomenon. It promotes deception. It plays down to the hateful myths of homosexuals as sneaky, debased, shameful, and ashamed. It seems to promote closets as weapons rather than sanctuaries.

As an afrocentric, womanist, lesbian in a world that hates Africans, feminists, homosexuals and women, my life is a complex maze of terror. I am too Black for the gays, and too gay for the blacks. These "DL Brothaz" do nothing more than lend credence to African gaybashers' slander. The "DL Brothaz" justify those who view all homosexuals as enemies and predators, while seeking to alienate us from their communities and churches.

There is absolutely nothing honorable about lying to women. There is nothing courageous or admirable about sleeping with one woman to appear bisexual, while you truly enjoy three male mistresses. DL brothers disgrace homosexuals and bisexuals as they betray heterosexuals.

These peculiar brothers dare not refer to themselves as "gay/homosexual". They embrace senseless and erroneous semantics. For the record, men who engage in sex with other men, and enjoy it as much as (or more than) they enjoy sex with women are bisexual.

Down Low is Low Down! There is nothing honorable about creeping and cheating clandestinely with anyone. In the age of the bio warfare of AIDS, all sexual infidelity is akin to serial killing. Homosexual men were specifically and originally targeted for AIDS via Hepatitis B shots. [See more on AIDS herein.] Lesbians contract far less AIDS than homosexual men or heterosexuals ONLY because we exchange far less bodily fluids during sex. We are NO more monogamous or responsible than anyone else.

In fact, the media frenzy has missed tons of DL women. They are lesbian only after dark, only in ménages-à-trois, or only when their beaus are out of sight. They pretend to be bisexual only so that they may be regarded as half "normal" by moronic gaybashers. Or, they pretend to be heterosexual only so that they may be welcome at most gaybashing black churches on Sunday mornings.

This DL trend repulses and confuses me. I feel a similar aversion to the trend of "Lesbian Studs". These are masculine lesbian women who date "heterosexual" women exclusively. I am a feminine lesbian who dates feminine lesbians exclusively. I love women sexually and spiritually, and I love being a woman. "Stud" connotes macho breeders on slave plantations, infidelity, playboys, and hyper masculinity. I need no studs in my life.

I pity all of the lesbian studs who are being played by selfish, desperate, bisexual, "baby-mamas" who have been abused and rejected by heterosexual men. Like DL men, these DL women dare not refer to themselves as lesbian or bisexual. They snag an eager lesbian stud to fill the voids that deadbeat men leave in their lives. If they are really lucky, they get to play the lesbian studs and keep the "baby daddies". They keep the lesbian studs to pay the bills, and the sorry men to play for thrills. The studs manage their lives and the bucks manage their libidos.

To each her own. To each his own.... Please respect my own: I am a proud and out homosexual. There is nothing low down or ashamed about me. So, I guess you may just call me a monogamous lesbian femme on the up high?...

DL is a Damned Lie! No lie can live forever. Everything done in the dark is eventually exposed in the light. No person can ever crouch down low enough to perpetually avoid the high beams of reality...Peace OUT!
