Homophobia the Black muny is a horribly kept secret and the marriage between Robert Brown and Nathanael Gay has once aga brought to the surface. * are kappas gay *
Gay dited that he believed the weddg vio's dissematn to have been at the hands of a member om a "rival" black Greek-letter anizatn (BGLO). Chief among the issu is the place of gay members black aterni. There have only been two groups of scholars to rearch issu around gay men black aterni.
GAY MEN BLACK FRATERNI
Alan DeSantis and Marc Coleman (Kappa) studied the attus of members of four black aterni about gay members, and Drs. Rashawn Ray and Kev Spraglg (both Alphas) studied the experienc of gay Alphas. The rearchers found that homosexualy is rarely if ever openly discsed black aterni and is only engaged orr to nmn .
DeSantis and Coleman found that notns of masculy fluence black aterny members' attus about gay members.
BGLO members found the latter tras to be ditive of femy or homosexualy. Stigmas attached to homosexualy may lead to gay pledg beg treated worse or harsher than normal, although most gay members don't believe that they were personally treated differently.

Most gay members feel nsc of their stat wh the BGLO, and many feel unfortable around heterosexual members. To fight the stigmas attached to homosexualy, many gay members feel that they mt validate and thentite their masculy so that other members regard them as "te" brothers. It wouldn't be surprisg to fd a sizeable portn of heterosexual black aterny members who believe that gay members should eher be expelled or have their nduct regulated (or to have gay aspirg members refed membership).
For those foced on the argument that BGLOs were found on Christian prcipl, homosexualy is nsistent wh biblil teachgs. Flamboyance, however, n cut agast both heterosexual and gay men.
