Cover tells the typical and for me tired story of the brotha who did the sista wrong. We've been there and seen that before. It doesn't necessarily portray gay men, bisexual men, or men on the downlow in the most positive light, not that you need too to discuss the downlow. But the plot that always includes the sista done wrong is a bit overplayed and does nothing to address the reason why the downlow exists in the first place. Instead, it continues to point the finger of blame…
Yes, but which finger?
Thanks for your posting. It's fun. I would love to share it with more people on horsematch.com.
"Straight" to Logo.
Ugh, I hope this is straight to the bargain DVD bin instead. I'm in complete agreement with Cannick on this one. SistaGirl, as I call them, stories are really turning away from storytelling and into a cash cow. I remember trying to read E. Lynn Harris' first book and being unable to get through it, but my black female friends ate it up and his follow-up books.
And they all follow the same formula, woman done wrong by a man who's gay or bi on the DL. Feel for the woman, hate the man. It gets old fast.
