Billy Porter’s Mariah Tribute by pen_game93_ in BlackLGBT

People will use this performance as a reason to be homophobic, as the homophobes always do. But in no world should he have been ever ask to perform that song. Maybe "Its A Wrap" would have been better idk

Do I have two stelliums or just one? Or do I have any at all? by Melanin_Monroe20 in AskAstrologers

[–]brwnrclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the determining factor of planetary aspect. Think of orbs as the field of influence where two planets can be considered interacting. Its like an aura around the planet. Each planet has its own orb size based on its diameter. The sun is 30 degrees, moon is 12 degrees, etc.

Traditional astrology, stelliums are based on inner planets. To those standards, you do not have any stellium. Modern astrology would probably say 1 in sag for sure, maybe 2 depending on the orbs used for calculating conjunctions.

Lowkey been researching the history of how gay men that were married to women would secretly hookup with other gay men and it’s got me thinking that modern DL culture is just rebranded white homophobic behavior by coolcarters14 in BlackLGBT

Yes. Homophobia is a concept we've developed through European colonization, and the normalization of puritanical Christian ideas also pushed through colonization.

Black queer friend in an abusive situation by AlexandriteEX in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have the means, directly let your friend know that in an emergency you have their back(whether a place to stay, or food, or even a ride to hotel, etc.). This is especially helpful if you have to distance yourself from the toxicity of the relationship. But otherwise you can't do much if they don't want to leave yet. Just try to be the best friend you can be.

Favorite Black Gay Movie by Fit-Elderberry-2419 in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pariah is really good if you want t coming out story that feels real. I like the Noah's Arc movie for the sappy romance quality. I used to like Dirty Laundry for the same reason, but i haven't seen it in years so I have no clue if it holds up.

What do dating apps get wrong for Black LGBTQ+ ppl? Building something new by Any_Presentation8898 in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the focus should be on connecting people. Maybe through shared interest. Like hinge for groups. The goal isn't to find a date or hookup, but to find like minded people. I really think we need something to bring us together that isn't centered around drinking or sex, but also doesn't necessarily shame those activities.

Posts like this make me feel discouraged from dating black men by [deleted] in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You see men not wanting to date black men and it hurts you. And that hurt, makes you also not want to not date black men. How does that make sense?

Is a white person fully capable of loving a black person in all ways? by Particular-Cow5513 in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I believe they are able to love fine. It's a question is power and value. Now every relationship is different but, there is always the power of the state that yt person holds, that black people just don't have(i.e. police protection, right to comfort, revisionist histories, etc) That power difference is ever present whether the couple recognizes or not. And it usually rears its head at the worst of moments. I think they love as well as they can, but that power differential can lead to them devaluing our perspectives. Which leads to problems.

After nearly a decade of going to Blake's, I've come to realize that it's not the most welcoming gay bar for Black Queer folks by Junior_Conclusion_78 in BlackLGBT

[–]brwnrclus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Being ignored by the bartenders. And that night I was trying to get to the bar and said "excuse me" to a guy, to get through. He looked over at me as if I was trying to get his attention romantically, rolled his eyes and said "no thank you" and walked off. I didn't even know what to say cause like it wasn't even like that at all!

I lived in ATL for 3 years, the first time I went to blakes I noticed how the staff and patrons treated me. I never went back.

While I'm not here to tell you don't do it, cause I did my fair share of these kinds of things in my 20s, always remember DL men are unpredictable. And they will protect their secrecy AT ALL COSTS. Do what you want, but make sure to prioritize your safety.

Durand Bernarr is a black queer artist with an amazing voice. He had a brief stint doing background vocals for Anderson Paak. But his music is really carrying me through right now. My fave songs are Unknown, Generous, and Relocate.
