I'm willing to believe it. Our gays have always been the most fabulous, obviously. 
I repeat, "no homo" was invented for nikkas to signify they wasn't down with the weird shyt. We in Manhattan, very close to the weirdo shyt.

Ngl, in my life, I have known some very flamboyant gay bm. Floor length minks and shyt.They was not soft by any means. Play with them if you want to.
My man from Bk and always felt it was weird, but they co-exist and don't really be disrespected as long as they stay in they lane. Hence the 'no homo,' to reinforce those boundaries. I personally believe its due to the proximity to the art world, fashion, and all that downtown shyt. I know, I was there.
