The above Huffington Post article aligns with the paper I am writing for class covering cultural identity and mis-identities of queer South African men, and men on the down-low for what they call economic reasons. The issue in South Africa seems to stand parallel to what the states are experiencing. There is not a proper space of authenticity where an individual has the ability to identify as gay AND black, or bisexual AND black, without experiencing a drastic change in lifestyle and livelihood.
