Black Celebrities on the Down Low

By Michael Musto, Tuesday, Feb. 9 2010 @ 9:30AM
Comments (42)
Categories: Featured, gaaaaayyyyyy

will_smith_01.jpg
​
A regular on Datalounge.com has posted his list of black male stars on the down low!

Someone else on the site responded that a lot of it is just wishful thinking, and someone else chimed in that a lot of these guys are more likely bi, but I'd have to say a lot of this is pretty spot on too.

Where there's smoke, there's usually flamers.

The Black List:

D.L. Hughley

Will Smith

Eddie Murphy

Vin Diesel

Usher

Tyson Beckford

Arsenio Hall

50 Cent

P Diddy

Dr. Dre

Prince

Mario Van Peebles

Shemar Moore

Harry Belafonte

Laurence Fishburne

Any other blacks who might be lavender?

Mario Van Peebles and Shemar Moore=definitely.

But isn't Arsenio a big pussy hound?

Will & Jada are bi.

Eddie Murphy likes trannies.

Harry Belafonte is straight.

Amanda Kennedy says:

Michael, darla, I'm old enough to remember when you used to say Bill Cosby was gay. How'd that claim turn out? Let's face it, if a male entertainer is black and successful, there must be something "wrong" with them. Ooh! Ooh! I know! They're gaaay! By the way, you left Sidney Poitier, Bill Bojangles Robinson and Paul Robeson off your list. How long before you start posting rumors about Barack Obama?

gcndc says:

P Diddy is at least bi. There is a series of porn movies called Streetlife. If you rent the one the features a man named Obsession, he is interviewed. He mentions that he has sex with men for money and when asked who one of his favorite clients was, he says Puffy. Then he regrets mentioning the name and the interviewer tells him not to worry, they will bleap out the name, which of course they don't.

Jonster says:

That's funny. This is almost the exact list I posted HERE months ago. (Except I put Melvin Van Peebles Jr. instead of Mario...)

As for LL Cool J. From what I hear, you might have a chance Billy.

(Love this line from Amanda: "Let's face it, if a male entertainer is black and successful, there must be something "wrong" with them.")

Vin Diesel was well-known to be bi, he only got married recently to a woman when his career was still somewhat on the radar to stop the rumors from amounting to anything. But yeah he swung both ways in the 90s when he was just in the club circuit.

So I guess Queen Latifah is in a glass closet at this point?

Jordan says:

I think a lot of it is wishful projection. But what is closer to the truth is that alot of these men might have had one or several encounters with other guys (it's Hollywood after all! And they're creative types) but don't really identify or practice as "gay." But I wish they would tell the stories - "Yeah I'm married and have kids but I did fuck around with dudes a little back in the day." This would be real progress.

Granted, she ain't a man, but I read that Lena Horne is gay. I guess any public figure will get speculation about it, but has anyone else come across this item?

Mustafa says:

Everytime a website, like Washingtoncitypaper.com remodels/redesign's their website, I always worry that the quality of their content will go down. It's like with cartoons, everytime they put "The New" in front of the title, you know it's going to be bad. But not so with the Village Voice. With stories like the one above, it's good to know that you'll be keeping up the stringent journalistic standards that have made you a zenith of independent journalism. Congrats on the redesign by the way.

Hello!! what about Tyler Perry. The Queens in drag most of the time. So he gets my vote. Other possibilities .The actor who played the lead [father ] on the show Family Matters. Ok thats going a it far back I realize .

giveitup says:

Why does this bullshit smack of gay self-hatred to me? Are these men asking for this kind of speculation? Maybe they fuck dudes with their wife? Maybe they're psychologically screwed up scientologists? Who knows? Isn't a lot of this wishful thinking?
It's this queeny bullying that causes homophobia in the first place. Grow up.
p.s. all actors are bisexual prostitutes for the right job

Posted On: Tuesday, Feb. 9 2010 @ 8:14PM
sass says:

Tyler Perry was left out because he's so obvious!

PS: No, saying someone might be gay doesn't reek of gay self-hatred. Thinking it's AWFUL to say someone might be gay reeks of gay self hatred.

Posted On: Tuesday, Feb. 9 2010 @ 9:28PM
nibbs says:

A casual list, posted as speculation with some truth to it, is bullying? And it causes homophobia? Get a grip, girl.
