DOWN LOW.

the first time i heard this term used was on law and order, svu. apparently it describes married black men coming together having sex with each other. i'm not sure if it's in the form of an orgy. but it was portrayed as such on the law and order episode.

so now it's being talked about on oprah. according to one guest, if you were gay in the black community, you're looked upon as less of a man. one of my temp workers was gay and black. i didn't think he was less of a man, but i did think he was a little brash. he was also pretty funny.
