The downlow phenomenon is very dangerous. True story: I was at the mall with my friend. We were just killing time in the food court before our movie started at the theater. We were sitting near the escalator, then we saw two guys sharing a step on the escalator. (You know when a couple want to be extra close, so usually its the guy who is standing behind the girl.) Anywho, these two guys were in that exact position. Not only were they entirely too close, they also shared a quick kiss on the lips. OK, so thats not an issue, I am all for the gay community. However, my friend and I noticed that once the two were in the view of people they gave each other a dap to say bye. We were especially surprised to see that these two men were "homothugs".<br><br>And to add to the surprise:<br>When my friend and I finally arrived to our movie, a woman asked us to save a couple of seats for her because she was coming back. We agreed to do it. Ten minutes later, the woman came back with one of the "homothugs". <br>Before you say that this woman could be just a friend,get this: the woman was preggers and my friend and I realized that this is the same guy who came into our store (a store my friend and I worked at) with the same woman to buy her gifts. This woman is his WIFE. How do we know? He said he wants to buy something for his WIFE the day he came in. <br><br>So very sneaky and dangerous indeed.

However, if you feel the need to hide it when dealing with a woman is so not cool. Like, who wants to wake up not knowing if they have a disease because of ol' nasty ass? Feel me. I say, whatever your orientation is, please be real with it. You don't have to go all out and sport your rainbows [although this would clue in the lgbqt community for potential relationships or friends] to prove your feeling the same gender, but clue in your homieloverfriend so they know what's good. Nowadays, people are afraid to shout out their interests because of what society has done, but yo, be proud of who you are. If you sport a rainbow, I want to see it.

Because you fail to mention that there are some down low women too. But sometimes they don't say that they are bisexual, some of them go through a phase or they are "bi-curious".

I remember hearing or reading in an article that they choose not to use condoms b/c that makes them feel like they're gay and they don't think of themselves as gay....or DL but still str8t. <br>To me, it's a crzy world that we live in especially w/ HIV/AIDS on the rise in the african american and latino communities. It saddens me that women can't get the respect to be told the truth. Married women are contracting the disease from their husbands b/c the men choose to live a double life. <br>I don't understand why ppl just can't tell that person the truth....b/c it is a matter of life and death.<br><br>Now we have to make dudes take full STD tests and HIV test before they even get the nookie. Tht's right....if I'm gonna sleep w/ u I need the full report. I don't want to see a copy u had since I don't know when. I need to see a recent copy from your doctor.... b/c ppl are photoshop pros' nowadays and can edit any and everything.

Dude calls in sounding extra hardcore only to ask advice on what he should do regarding his DL lifestyle. I was disgusted to say the least, but like you said I wasn't disgusted by his choice to sleep with men, it was his deceit to women that made me want to throw up. I feel like if you have the courage to hop in bed with another man then you should use that same courage to be truthful to others about your sexual preference. Disease is disease whether a dude is cheating with a man or a woman, but every woman has the right to choose if she wants to be with a bisexual man just like every man has the right to choose if he wants to sleep with men and/or women. Needless to say the prevalence of the DL lifestyle makes dating in today's society a scary scary thing.
