A GAY KAPPA WEDDG: THE LATT EVENT CHALLENGG BLACK AMERI’S HYPER-MASCULE ARENAS

When the vio of Robert Brown and Nathanael Gay's weddg went viral last week, Kappa Alpha Psi, a historilly black aterny, found self amid "spired" ntroversy. Gay, a member of the anizatn, was pictured throwg up the aterny’s hand sign wh other men prent at the crimson-and-cream themed ceremony (the anizatn’s lors).

It wasn’t much longer before “gay Kappa weddg” beme a social media trendg is one of many recent exampl of black gay men publicly emergg om hyper-mascule social arenas.

This summer, Wa Davis spoke openly for the first time about beg gay the NFL, and Frank Ocean brought homosexualy to the foreont of the hip-hop muny by disclosg his bisexualy. Their public disclosure served to remd that there’s a lot at stake for black men who break the of silence about homosexualy.

Dcribg his lifelong, "robot"-like sire to nform and be accepted by others, Wa Davis's open letter to young, gay athlet offers troublg sight to the 11 years he lived a "refully crafted heterosexual life. Frank Ocean mt have faced a siar dilemma about riskg his artistic succs, as Kappa Alpha Psi member Nathanael Gay probably did about brotherhood wh his aternal men were ntug a tradn of self-scribed "pneers" who me before them. Wt, for example, is a gay wrer, emcee and tellectual who has been challengg hip-hop's homophobic landspe through poetry, scholarship and documentari for s.

When people don’t f the script anymore, we have to eher reject the old claim or rewre the script of black masculy to f this new inty of gay. Robert and Nathanael are both livg up to the aterny's purpose, as well as refg wh this major 's be real: Many people this world are gay. Hontly, there are gay people who are members of Kappa Alpha Psi and other predomately Ain-Amerin aterni and sorori.

Teens and young adults across the world aspire to be part of the prtig anizatns, and many of the aspirants are ed gay.
