Can YOU see yourself gripping, Stepping or locking up with someone who is either non african american or homosexual. If so, do you think it affects the image of your organization in the eyes of outsiders?

REGARDING HOMOSEXUALS: I'm not knocking it for those who are, it's your business what your preference(s) is/are. But the thing we have to realize is HOW many homosexuals have we gripped, hugged, stepped, or locked up with and don't even know it? Let me break it down even more, what about our friends that we have done all of that with who are gay/lesbian and we don't even know about it? Will that affect our image of them?
(that's another subject...lol) Shucks, the leaders of our organizations could be gay/lesbian, who knows?
RE: Non- African Americans: I have seen non-AA sorors, but have never personally met one. I know they exist. I'm not even gonna sit here and lie, yeah, it's kind of strange hearing about it. Coming from a HBCU where it was basically unheard of non-AA (basically WHITE) coming through the organizations, it is a hard pill to swallow because I'm not familiar with that, not even on the graduate level. But, that's something I must do, if I ever come into contact with a NON-AA Soror. We are apart of the same organization, we share common goals as far as the organization is concerned, so I must accept the fact that she is a Soror and let it be that.
IMHO, of course...
