BOXER YAF MACK LIED ABOUT BEG 'DGGED' INTO GAY PORN
Everythg about the recent viral famy of Yaf Mack is sane—om the actual gay porn threome he participated to his cisn to addrs , which brought the vio far more attentn than would have received if he had jt ignored s existence. Perhaps the most sane thg, though, is this quote that Mack, a 35-year-old profsnal boxer who holds some regnal tl, gave to the Philalphia Daily News’s Jenice Armstrong to exonerate himself: * yusaf mack gay *
Consir Yaf Mack’s ial rponse to mors that he was gay. Sexual accs to women and prows signify that a Black man is, well, a man, which acts as a veil to protect Black men who may be gay om gay mors.
The dynamics nnot Importance of Agency In Comg Out Studi show that the aftermath of g out is posive for gay men and lbian women, allowg people to embrace their sexual orientatn, tablish muny, and be te to themselv. It is hard to believe that Mack thought this film would never see the light of day, but more importantly, if one is participatg a gay sex tape bee he/she is strapped for sh, speaks to the lack of agency around his abily to strategilly and safely e out. He won’t be nsired a hero and he will not get a page the history books bee race and sexual orientatn operate a matrix that works and looks very differently for Ain-Amerins, particularly gay Black men the arena of sports.
We have moved forward society, but we have not moved towards a more acceptg space for Black gay athlet by any stretch of the imagatn.
