See this is a complex issue.
My theory is, because being gay is so stigmatized in the black community a lot of men who are otherwise gay have a wife / gf, to please their family, friends, and most importantly keep them off-guard.
I completely disagree & I’m tired of black people giving these DL guys a pass.
This is not a complex issue at all & the root of this practice is selfishness. There is a specific type of black woman who will date a bisexual guy. It’s usually the extreme feminist/liberal or free spirited type. It’s the type that feels like someone is a bigot if they will not date a bi guy. For instance, I was surprised when I learned how many women would sleep with Frank Ocean. While it was not the majority, the amount of chicks that were down, was eye opening.
But, these DL guys seemingly do not want that type. Instead of having an honest & open marriage with these free spirited women, they want the cookie cutter girlfriend/wife to complete their straight image. It’s not about the women that they deceived or the black community who doesn’t diminish the LGBT community any more than anyone else. This is about their wants & their lack of consideration for the collateral damage. As I said before, it’s pure selfishness.
