It's a sad truth, unfortunately. The black community has this bias towards gays in their community. They are seen as weak, soft, inferior and so any of those men who maybe gay hide it. Too many of them are on the DL and sleeping with whoever they can whenever they can just to fill that need. Until you break that cycle, I'm afraid the statistics will continue to show as they do now.

Yeah, its such a sad cycle. It's also sad to see our Christian faith used incorrectly and people not getting treatment or being safe and authentic in their lives and lifesytle. This guy may have died early because he was afraid of religious parents. They should have been the first place to go!

Totally agree. It's just sad to think that people are dying because of people hatred and bigotry. Their own ignorance to the things and the people around them. It makes me sad, but also angry.
