There are many instances where we see two (or more) men of different races involved in either pre-sexual foreplay or else in the beginning of an intimate liaison. Every year that passes, such images become more frequent and often times cause little reaction among members of our own GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer) community. However, for those outside of our "extended family" those opinions and judgments often attack the very idea of a diverse culture and interracial harmony.
These bigoted and prejudicial criticisms do not always represent the majority of either the mainstream society nor the particular races involved. They more often than not do reflect the outlook of those who are so full of both hate and homophobia that any image showing us is going to earn their eternal damnation.
As for me, an African-American and very proud same gender loving (gay) man, the racial depictions are in no way a detriment as to the relationship shown. Whatever the image shows, it involves an activity or a desire that is shared among most of those in my community - no matter what races are exhibiting that intimacy. As far as I am concerned, whatever two people are doing is their own business.
I don't judge a man and a woman having intimacy. That's their particular desire. If two men are involved and that doesn't happen to be your fancy, then leave it the hell alone! And stay away from MY blog!
Gay, nude and proud!
