And it wasn't meant to be "eyecatching" by any means. The Vibe article was titled this and it was a very good article.

It is not disrespectful to me per se, as I am neither a homosexual or a thug. However, I believe that since this board is about respect for self and others, I thought the title was disrespectful to the homosexual population.
If I remember correctly from conversations that I had about this topic on another forum, not all of them are "homothugs". We as a community are so judgemental that our attitudes and beliefs make it difficult for some of these people who are caught between being a homosexual and a heterosexual to be honest with themselves about their sexuality. For some of them, they straddle the fence their whole lives in fear that they will be ridiculed for their choices. I constantly think of Basil, the pivotal character in E. Lynn Harris' books who is this fictional character but there is a lot of truth found in his character. How many other men and women, not just musicians and athletes, are living a life of fence straddling when it comes to their sexuality.
