The images are exquisite! Some of the most loving photos I have ever seen have been of Black Women Loving Black Women! And to you, Rene: Black Women are not settling for one another! We are CHOOSING because, enough times, it is just so right! It has nothing to do with Black Men. It is just, on so man levels and in so many ways, so very right! When you understand that, it will bother you far less.

As a black man looking at this breaks my heart. I wish you women wouldn’t do this type of stuff. Lesbianism in the black community makes it very difficult for us straight black men continue to choose black women for marriage. Most of us don’t like white women but with this super increase in lesbianism we’re deciding to marry women of other races such as latinas, asians, white, indian, arabs, africans, europeans, etc. Stop your lesbianism because it’s killing us inside - it hurts me to see you women do this type of thing and calling it love. Seeing you ladies all hugged up and kissing isn’t attractive because it says you hate us; you don’t want us and you don’t need us. Which is a complete turn off for those of us black men who want to marry you, start a family with you and love and cherish you and treat you right.
You women could look very beautiful if you just changed your attitudes towards us which is reflected in how you look and your demeanor towards us black men. We still love you ladies and nothing you do will ever change that but as you continue in your lesbianism and glorification of it you’re making it seem like all black women are into your lifestyle. Because looking from the outside in it appears that way even though it’s not true. The more you continue to settle for women by allowing your bitterness towards us black men direct your actions and thoughts the more you’re pushing us black men who would love to marry you, accept you, have children with you and treat you right towards marrying women of the races and nationalities. Stop settling for women and learn to forgive so we can create black families with you. We still love you ladies. I as a black man still love you ladies.

This is my reply to Rene: Thank you that you still love us as you claim even though you find that homosexuality (many of us women are attracted to women either lesbian or bisexual) is wrong in YOUR eyes. That is your issue not mine or anyone else’s, so please do not project your problem onto us.
Many of us in LGBT community are happy and not living in miserable lives because we are believing in our truth and living out publicly, enjoying life like we are deserve and love. Personally I do not hate men, I have met and continue to meet and befriend gentlemen whom respect me as well as I respect them.
Sending positive energy your way Rene, hopefully you live and love your truth (whatever it is). I, a lovely Brown skin/Black woman, whom is attracted to women/lesbian is living out in my truth and I love life.
Oh, I suggest to you, Rene, to use this concern of yours in a more positive light, how by being supportive to the LGBT community? No matter who you are, everyone needs support!

Wow. Was that serious?

I don’t know. I started writing a response here but decided I had too much to say for a mere comment. I wrote extensively about this on my blog. http://blacklesbianlovelab.com/2014/07/13/a-letter-to-a-straight-black-brother-how-to-love-a-black-lesbian/

Hello Rene.
Thank you for your heart felt response. Wow!! My immediately response was “He’s can’t be serious”!! Black men are not going to stop marrying white women or women from other races because of black lesbians. Black men have taken their love away from “us” a long time ago and many of us have “moved on we are not looking back”!!
Our society (along with the Brothers) have made black women feel unattractive, unloved, and not desirable to you. Well bump that!!! We have found love and acceptance from each other.

YOU SOUND LIKE A DAMN FOOL IF YOU SEE TRUE LOVE IT DOES MATTER WHO U LOVE, OPEN YOUR EYES AND STOP LOOKING INSIDE YOUR OWN SELFISH NEEDS.

It would be a pleasure for yourself to read your very own comment before posting.It sounds really heartbreaker to hear of such stupidity.The lack of knowledge,not your belief.

I’m so Happy to see this! I’m a black Brazilian Girl living in Germany and I don’t know any other black lesbians here. I thought the problem was that I live in a country were most of people are white, but I was reading a post on a blog called “black and lesbian” and so many girls are saying that they don’t know black lesbian in Brazil too.
Maybe this women in this picture are so far away but I know that they exist and that makes my day!!!!!Thank you!!!!!
p.s: I’m sorry for my bad English.

So have I, but I am yet still holding on! But if only my sisters can look pass what most would call a disability, and look at my abilities I would be just fine. But the judgements that come with who I am, always lead to passovers!
