The same thing I'd do if i caught him with another girl or in my case caught my girl with another man, leave their ass with my dignity intacted.2020 is already a movie, i don't want a dramatic feature. Let it go, let it flow and let it die a natural peaceful death.

At some point you're going to have to realize your role and responsibility as gay black man in this country.

It's not enough that you're openly gay, when you also use stereotypes attached to black woman as a comedy. When you also use your page as a space for Homophobia.
