To the 8 Black Gays that need to chill:

When I initially posted “The 8 Black Gays you will meet in your lifetime” it was meant as a response to Gawker’s “Handy Guide To All Gay Men”, not a social experiment, and certainly not something to be taken seriously. But, wow, did some of you kids take it seriously! A lot of the response has been great, since most people chuckled and kept it moving. But how long did it take for the Reactive Online Intelligentsia to get bent out of shape? Not very. Although I said I wouldn’t acknowledge the bitching and whining and moaning and misguided attempts to kick knowledge on this topic on my website, it appears that this has escalated to a Very Serious Matter, so now we must box. I hope your arms are long enough to go with me, shorty.

The 8 Black Gays you will meet in your lifetime.

After reading “A Handy Guide to All Gay Men” by Brian Moylan over at Gawker, what stood out to me (obviously) was that I don’t know many Black men like this. Any one of these archetypes can apply to my Black gay brethren, but by and large, in my experience, they do not. So some mischievous friends and I decided to compose a more colorful equivalent to Moylan’s classifications. Your education begins now.

This strain of Black gay is typically very young (“green”) but quickly rises in popularity in his newfound social circle because of his youth, pliability and quick mastery of shade. His goal is to accrue as many enemies as possible since he’s convinced that having enough people that despise him means he’s “doing something right.” He will spend an entire month’s salary on designer sunglasses because he considers them social currency.
Activities: “Walking”, throwing shade, wearing eyeliner, being penetrated, hogging the camera, starting arguments with strangers, making youtube videos, going to the mall.
Diva of Choice: Beyonce or Rihanna (there is no in-between)
Top or Bottom: Bottom.
