I was recently a guest on the awesome radio show “One Man One Woman” heard exclusively on Talktainment Radio. The topic of the day was “Black Men and Marriage.”

I was introduced to my Dad’s friend as the “outgoing” one (my little sis was described as the “diva”-she is awfully fly!)

Don Lemon, CNN anchor came out saying he’s gay.
Rick Welts, Phoenix Sun president came out saying he’s gay.
