Thank you for your thoughtful response. But I need to ask a question and I hope you do not take it offensively.

Ever since I first learned about BGLOs I have always heard A Phi A referred to as the "gay" fraternity. This would have been before Sensuret was even born, or E. Lynn HArris for that matter.

So my question is, how did that get started in the first place, and since it has been around for so long the perception already existed that Alpha accepted or affirmed homosexuality. Sensuret did not cause this perception to be.
I was just thinking the same thing. Before I even enrolled in college, I had always heard this stereotype about Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I personally don't know any openly gay Alphas, however the ones I know do have strong opinions about this issue. I was just wondering if any of the Alpha's on this forum knew when this stereotype got started, and if anyone knew it's origins.
