His latest article is "Last Taboo: Why Pop Culture Just Can\u2019t Deal With Black Male Sexuality."\n\n \u201cYou learn a lot of things about your sexuality at an early age. You know, I learned that your penis is a problem for white people, that you can\u2019t be too openly sexual in general because that could get you in trouble because someone could misconstrue what you\u2019re doing, and, in my case, I also knew I was gay.
