That's something my mother told me when I was very young. In fact she told me to never do it, however as we know in this day and age many times truths are hidden and speculation comes natural sometimes.
Now I'm part of Generation X so things where quite different back in the days. Prior to the late 90's the term "downlow" was foreign to us and other girls I grew up with. We did not sit around speculating whether each man in the spotlight was gay or on the "downlow". That is new to this era.
We didn't question whether Ralph Tresvant was gay or not and Ralph Tresvant is best known for his song "Sensitivity" as a solo artist.
A song that would make every young Black girl in this era speculate whether he was gay or not.

Why?
Because the song is so gentle compared to the ENERGY of the music today, an era dominated by Hip-Hop R&B. Prior to the late 90's we simply had R&B; only on occasion did a rapper bring their ENERGY to R&B and even then Hip Hip was different so the ENERGY was not as harsh.
Anyway, why do I bring this up? I bring it up because I went to SandraRose recently and not only does she take delight in attacking Trey Songz but she had a thread showing how he has to defend himself to young girls who think he is gay.
He finds himself battling these girls on Twitter, when they claim that he is gay. They say the nastiest things and just reflect how the femininity and softness of Black young girls is almost non-existent in this era.
To read comments like the following disturbs me.
