Why were black men dressing and acting so gay in the 80s?

[Booker T Garvey]

Y’all trying too hard

It was a different time, people’s brains didn’t automatically go to SEXUALITY for everything they did like they do now.

Sure DeBarge looks sweet in retrospect, but they were widely known for being street as fukk behind the scenes, plus all of them have about 70 kids between them, el alone has about 10...

Prince stood out bc he was feminine with it...and I can't front that's my first time seeing that picture of prince, not sure WTF that's about

The irony of this thread.

Yeah there was some suspect shyt in the 80s but the 2010s brought it back

Heavy metal was worse ... full make up and heels and frilly scarfs ...

But they weren’t effeminate though. the style was crazy, but nobody was getting more p*ssy than metal heads in the 80’s

I grew up in the 80s. I never saw a dude dress like that in real life.

This too.

Prince WTF?

But some nikkas on thecoli and real life will still say he wasn't gay

I believe he wasn’t gay but was only doing that gay shyt to tap into it for spiritual reasons which translates into music , either intentional or not

Everyone was

 

[I Really Mean It]

But let old heads tell it, rappers didn’t start dressing funny till 2015

Busta probably looks at this now and goes

There was an androgynous thing in the 80s but it wasn’t a homo vibe. It was just a look (I don’t get it). I don’t think regular people were doing any o fhtat, just music acts. Google for that Poison album cover. All of them looking like trannies, but they were getting p*ssy too. Charlie Murphy didn’t lie.

After he let the gay makeup dude top him off, right?

this level of caping for Prince's fruity ass is as sickening as the caping for Aaliyah being the GOAT 90's female artist

Facts. I don't understand how nikkas let Prince sus ass get away with all this shyt.
