Consistently the only male in class (black or otherwise)? Tactfully avoiding the advances of female classmates? Staring in wonder at the track boys occupying the training room adjacent to the dance studio? Yeah pretty obvious :)<BR/><BR/>And yes, for some reason a whole heap of us black folk kept our asses in the closet as undergrads. I guess we figured it was easier that way. I also had my major to think about. Exercise science.... constantly around the athletes...in locker rooms...seeing folk half naked...there's a certain degree of trust and rapport that must be built. Of course I had way too much integrity to cross that like, but if you throw "gay" into the mix folks start actin a damn fool. And when it came to dance, the gay male dancer was SUCH a ridiculous stereotype...and I was considered quite a "masculine" dancer to boot :) Go figure.<BR/><BR/>All I can say is...if I knew then what I knew now...college life would have been VERY different.

Second, you wer...Okay, first off, I like The Catch! <BR/><BR/>Second, you were in dance class and she NEVER had any clue? Come on, Stevie Wonder could have seen that! hahahahaha<BR/><BR/>Third, I find it quite interesting that you both feel that college is a place to remain closeted. I always thought that would be the ideal place to come out, but your post has shown me that there really are differing views of the same thing out there.<BR/><BR/>You are beautiful and interesting to me just the way you are...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
