New book makes new gay claims about Malcolm X: "Supported with evidence from an earlier autobiography, rumours of flirtations with gay sex confirm that Malcolm Little, as he was then, became involved with an older man and a hustler. As documented in the book, the hustler named Rudy was 'paid to undress them both, then pick up the old man like a baby, lay him on his bed, then stand over him and sprinkle him all over with talcum powder. Rudy said the old man would actually reach his climax from that.'"
The remake of Arthur takes the number 2 spot at the box office.
Montenegro prime minister supports gay pride parade: "Whether we personally accept them or not, whether we personally have one opinion or the other, let that remain our personal thought, but we must face the fact that there are differences in the society, that those issues are a part of the human rights corpus. Let the people take a walk and we will show that we are civilized."




Malcolm X was at the very least bisexual. A few other WELL KNOWN leaders of the black civil rights movement were gay, but of course not out. One's secret became known and he was ostracized.
And who doubts a dude like Farrakhan doesn't have something to hide? He's probably been an FBI informant for many years.
