October is Black History Month in Britain – a wonderful celebration of the huge, important and valuable contribution that black people have made to humanity and to popular culture.
It is also worth celebrating that many leading black icons have been lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), most notably the US black liberation hero Malcolm X. Other prominent black LGBTs include jazz singer Billie Holiday, author and civil rights activist James Baldwin, soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross, blues singer Bessie Smith, poet and short story writer Langston Hughes, singer Johnny Mathis, novelist Alice Walker, civil rights activist and organiser of the 1963 March on Washington Bayard Rustin, blues singer Ma Rainey, dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey, actress, singer and dancer Josephine Baker, Olympic diving gold medallist Greg Louganis, singer and songwriter Little Richard, political activist and philosopher Angela Davis, singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman and drag performer and singer RuPaul. ... A good example of this neglect is the denialism surrounding the bisexuality of one of the greatest modern black liberation heroes: Malcolm X. The lack of recognition is perhaps not surprising, given that some of his family and many black activists have made strenuous efforts to deny his same-sex relationships and suppress recognition of the full spectrum of his sexuality.
Why the cover-up? So what if Malcolm X was bisexual? Does this diminish his reputation and achievements? Of course not. Whether he was gay, straight or bisexual should not matter. His stature remains, regardless of his sexual orientation. Yet many of the people who revere him seem reluctant to accept that their hero, and mine, was bisexual. ...

Louganis or Oooooobama?
Orly Taitz is sending half-baked legal motions to every judge she can get in to see demanding that the ghey love tryst pics of Zero and Greggie be released along with the "real" birth certificate.

According to Wikipedia (Admittedly, not the most reputable source), no. He was Samoan and Swedish, and adopted by a Greek-American family

I thought he was Samoan. Some "journalist" needs to fact check a bit.
-
I know a few Samoans. They don't like being mistaken for being Black. But they REALLY don't like being mistaken for being Hispanic, which happens quite frequently.

I remember hearing he was adopted by a Greek-American family, but I don't ever remember hearing he was part/all black.
If he was....the press would have been all over the fact that he was a "black" Olympic diver....

Yeah, diving just ain't a sport that features a lot of blacks....
I can't even think of one, unless it's the team from Jamaica or some such.
-
Maybe he undertook the same treatments as Michael Jackson. :-)

I guess Samoan in the new black :rotf:
I always thought Samoans would be closer to either Native Americans or Asians, but I guess gay black history peeps are desperate for any famous affiliation. ON that note, how many of those names from the distant past were actually 'proud' of being either bisexual or gay? For how many were sexual indiscretions are part of drug or alcohol use?
As an aside, Rupaul is gay...now there's a shocker! :rotf:
-
Little Richard ghey? I'm shocked, shocked I say.
Maybe the mascara gave him away?
:hyper:
-
Sigh. There's that "bisexual" thing again. :whatever:
Seems to me, once you've decided to smoke a pole and you're featuring one, that makes you ghey. Doesn't matter whether you like life down at the Y or not.
-
Maybe I should have re-titled the thread 'Greg Louganis was black, get over it'. :-)
-
Poor Greg.

Malcolm was a muslim..............and we all know what they do at certain times of the year in favor of their religion

Blow shit up?

Hasn't it been going on for years I seem to recall a show a few years ago where they were talking about men on the down low.

Ah yes, the old maxim, "Make love to 1000 women, nobody cares, but suck one dick and you're a faggot for life."

Yep, that's it exactly.

Guys who do long stretches in the joint sometimes become what they call "gay for the stay" :-) Sorry if you can have another mans wang in your mouth and he doesn't have a gun to your head. You are a Broadway loving friend of dorothy! :-)

Well, maybe the answer for the guy who's gone "gay for the stay" should not have broken the law for starters. Kinda hard to have Bubba insist on you being his boyfriend when you and Bubba ain't cellmates to begin with.

Is there any proof that the people on this list is gay/bi/trannie? I get very suspicious of famous people, long dead, suddenly gay. I think it is just an excuse for gay people to make their CHOSEN lifestyle A-OK. Hey, if so and so who was famous was gay then it makes it okay! In fact, I am just like them!!!! :whatever:
I think it is all bullshit.

I agree, SO. I was thinking the same thing and it's why I alternately offered that at the very least these folks were probably not proud of it or raised to be proud of it and probably would not be comfortable with being held up as a gay public figure. I find it disrespectful of gays to use the name of someone long dead based on what could just be a rumored allegation.

Is this anything like the Mormons Baptising the dead into their faith.?
I hear Winston Churchill is now in Mormon Heaven as is William Shakespeare and George Washington.

singer Johnny Mathis
Yeah, but he can sing really, really good.
political activist and philosopher Angela Davis
Yuck!! :puke:
I figured her own hand would reject that skank.

Haven't people got anything better to do then point out that they are better then the rich and famous for any reason.
Who gives a rats ass if Hillery is or was a lesbian or Obama may be checking out the Senate Pages.
Check the odds on this one, with all the people on this forum, we must have a few gays, bisexuals and a few people that get off with being diapered and spanked.
Barney Frank, a real piece of work still holds office, Amazing ain't it. Not for his sex life but all the dirty deeds he gets away with.
I heard little uproar when Woody Allen married his adopted daughter, he is now supporting Polanski for rape of a child, female, would that pervert support Polanski if he had sex with a 17 year old boy ?
What would upset you more, to find out your child was Gay, or bisexual ???
The only sex life that I think about at my age is my own. I don't worry about my kids or Grandchildren, its their life and I have no business checking into either of them.
Only way I would get involved would be the rape or murder of a family member.
Ever notice that when things get hard the more the people focus on others sex lives.?
People have just one one extremely private part to their lives (unless one lives in the south ) and that is their sex lives, and their privacy in their own homes.
Sorry folks, at my age I have seen some very interesting things happen -----How about Nudest Colony's that have children from birth to teenagers running about stark naked.?
Last place I would take a 12 year old daughter to be ogled by teen boys and old codgers.
As I get older I find few things make it to common sense.

Little Richard? Nah...................

Yup. HIV positive since the late 80's.

Why wasn't Barry O on that list? I mean there is more written about him being on the down low than any of those other guys.
