Prince, the crazy thing about it, is that the homophobia that the whole D.L. media blitz (I say “media blitz” b/c it was truly a scare tactic in order for one man to make a ton of money) created just feeds into more brothas being on the D.L.

We truly need to get off, “no straight man does this or that.” Do we know every straight man? Do we know how they all were raised? Do we know in what culture they all were raised? Yes, in our culture, certain things may be seen as taboo or against social mores, but to write off someone as gay because of how you think straight men should act is wrong. Short of not having sex with gay men, there’s no way all straight men act.

Any’lldo, I’m in total agreement with you. I also truly believe that if men were allowed to be more open and affectionate with each other, we wouldn’t have all the violence that we have in this world. We teach them to keep their emotions bottled up in an attempt to look “manly.” Puhlease. Those are the same “men” who will leave you with a baby.

well hell what do you expect when you go on the Apollo w/orange hair and a name like GoGo? This is the life he chose, he’s finally made it to the top..let the hatin begin..sucess is very bittersweet indeed

he ant even make a song called Unfaithful dat’z how u now it’z fake n this nigga waz gettin head wit this bitch now ya gonna say he gay

# 47 aka TIMBZ the pic isn’t a fake. it’s been placed on a lot of his fan sites and was one of six in a photoshoot for epic records. here is the link to the whole photo

#153, he wrote the song Unfaithful that Rhianna sings.

i think that is a lie lmao its kinda funny tho u know i just dont think some one who just came out and said he was addicted 2 sex ( with women) could just come out AND SAY HE IS GAY naw man he is toooooo much of a ladies man for me

why are all male r&B singers accused of being gay—since when did you have to know how to sing to be gay? I aint see nobody accusing Master P or Dr. Dre or Eminem’s overly-sensitive asses of being gay!!! This shit burns me up…first Sisqo, then Usher, Mario, now Ne-Yo…if ppl did it for jokes, we need to grow up as a society since lots of us clearly think that being gay is “funny” but if they are serious, who the fuck cares…I’m still going to buy his music and this dumb ass rumor is not worth the keystrokes used to re-type in smhid

anyll’do - point taken. And I agree. Certainly wasn’t saying that we should be so afraid of being labeled a homosexual that we don’t acknowledge our brothers when they make an effort to look their best. I said in the post — Andre 3000 is that dude right now. He’s got style. (Yeah, I’m not going to see no movie with Black people in the 40’s dancing to swing music, but that’s my dude.)

I just think there are limits. Women, by nature are very touchy feely and will go in the bathroom and comment on each other’s dresses and go to the bathroom in packs. Our nature is different. We can go against the tide, but at a certain point you masculinity is going to be called into question. (NOTICE: I didn’t say your sexuality….I said masculinity. If you spend all day telling your male friends how you would die to have a body like theirs or sweating their style, you should be prepared to have your masculinity called into question. There’s nothing wrong with being an individual — but just accept the fact that socially it comes with a price.

#143…it’s not just black ppl!!! I tell you!!! I will make statements by what I see….if I see you kissing a guy, I will assume that you are gay…If I see you in tight ass stretch jeans with extensions and heels on, I am going to DAMN right assume that you are homosexual(If you are a male)…and just because I see you surrounded with women and always up in a woman’s face, I am NOT going to say “oh he must be str8) and if I see a man fighting a woman, I will call him a BITCH…cuz that’s what he is…Don’t EVEN try to make this a blk thing. Ppl all over the world have stereotyped what a “gay” person looks like, acts like, and sounds like….and it is just that–a stereotype…and he looks hella gay in that pic—blame society, not blk ppl—xoxox

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT NE-YO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people here in are so homophobic. For someone too say they would stop giving him Praise because he is gay is very sad. What do him being gay have too do with his talent? Being Gay isn’t going too make him any less of a good singer/song writer. That is just pure ignorance. People today worry more about gays and all that other non-sense more than anything else. Do we care about the thousands of people dropping out of school each and every day? NO! Do we care about the millions of people dieing of hunger day in day out? NO! Do we care about those people in N.O with no houses and no where too go? NO! Do we care about these thing too discuss them? NO! But we do care about who is gay. Like one of my teachers told me long time ago…It takes one too know one.

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU ALL .. BUT NE-YO IS NOT GAY .. I DID A LIL BIT OF RESEARCH MYSELF .. AND HERE’S THE WEBSITE TO PROVE IT .. http://ne-yo.org THE MANN AIN’T GAYY!!

Gay or straight, I can respect his songwriting skills and will still listen to his music. His sexual orientation is his business, and has nothing to do with the music he puts out.

He looks like he just got done smacking his lips sayin’ “Shooooooot”

Two snaps in Z formation.

& what is it with the damn stocking? this nigga got all colors.

Man… We’re all just choppin it up right? Let me say first that I have no problems with gay men, none what so ever; to each is his own.

But as a heterosexual male I feel that a lot of times I can look at another cat and tell if he’s straight or gay, I mean not all the time, s*** probably not even half the time, but damn it, there have been too many occasions where cat’s have come out of the closet and I’m like “For real, big surprise”.

Just like women’s intuition, I think men have it too; most of us (Men) are just not as discipline and focused as a lot of women (We don’t pay enough attention to s***).

Stars husband Al – Crooked ass I’ll bang you boy smile.

Terry McMillan’s ex husband - I told my wife when I saw dude “He’s gay, he got the sugar eyes”

Lance Bass – Dude always had the sugar eyes

A few others are suspect too.

Henry Simmons, Hill Harper, Tyler Perry. I’m sorry ladies that’s just how I see it.

And just because some are or may be gay doesn’t mean they aren’t great men!

P.S. In regards to my statement regarding intuition. That’s why men always get caught cheatin, and women rarely get caught up. Better step your awareness up men.

r u serious they jus said he was gettin his D**k sucked now he gay come on man thats bull shit

he luks like a bitch so wat eva all dat prancn around it still between him and JESUS

I always said that he was gay when he first single so sick came out. Just look at him how can you not tell that this fool is gay. I love the album though. Damn shame!!! But truthfully soon as this magazine hit the stores, other artist is going to come out of the closet. “lick diddy” and “K west” is going to be next!!!

I dont care if its a rumor or not…That nigga is gay…I knew It the first time i saw his gay ass.
He just looks gay..The way he moves…sings..does his mouth when he sings…Any real woman knows what I’m talking about…
EWwww.

LOL..@ k dub (165)…”sugar eyes????”" Thats funny as hell!
But Hill Harper…dont break my heart!!

NUMBA 103-NE-HO FOR NE- YO— I JUST WENT 2 THOSE SITES AND I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YALL BUT SHE/HE IS RIGHT. THAT IS HIS BODY. ( AND IT MAKES HIM LOOK EVEN BETTA!!!! ) ( JUICY LIPS, SIX PACK AND TALENT I DON’T SEE WHY ALL YALL HATIN ON MY BOI NE- YO AND HE GOT GAME!!!! AIN’T NOTHIN YALL COULD SAY TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD)

STEVIE WONDER COULD LOOK AT THIS MAN AND “SEE” THAT HE AIN’T TURNING NOTHING DOWN BUT HIS SHIRT COLLAR.

Hill Harper, Tavis Smiley (yes, Tavis!), Henry Simmons all set of my gaydar.

But in the defense of Ne-Yo, Hill and Tavis, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them frontin’ with a sistah. If you’re gay, that’s your thang. My issue is the dudes on the DL.

ITs A Damn Shame folks Ole boy gay anyway I really didnt beleave it myself but that picture shows some gay qualities.And I wonder will neyo continue his career in HELL!!!! the bible states clearly not to judge and it also states that homos arent going to heaven/come to think of it in that song with him and remy ma he did mention something about a thing what did he mean by thing looking at the picture above Ill take a guess male organ

youll never know will you

preach on #167 ur right it is between him and jesus but jesus isnt gay keep writin i Love to see your comments or call me @757-582-7119 est time

lol! Yeah ms1derful, you know when a dudes eyes have that *bling* I call that the “sugar eyes”.

@ Kdubb said:
“Better step up your awareness men”

Nah, better stop all that cheating, lol

@ LEEKAGYRL Said:

“Nah, better stop all that cheating”

Yeah, you right ma! Only I was talking to the men cause a lot of us are so busy cheatin we ain’t realizing that momma ain’t at home either!

You know it’s a lotta women out here too, most of us (men) are just sloppy, unlike most women so it seems extremely lopsided, but I have a feeling that things are a lot more even than we think. lol

For the record, Ne-yo isn’t gay. He called in at the Z104 radio station down here in VA this morning and a radio personality asked him whether or not it was true about him being gay, a sex addict, and if those pictures circling around the Internet were really him. He said that he lhao when he heard the rumor at which someone sat down and took the time to think of and add fictional staff members of Essence Magazine. So he said he isn’t gay and that he isn’t a sex addict. He just said he’s a young man with an “appetite” for it. He did confirm that the pictures were of him and one of his background dancers. He said,”I’m a grown a$$ man and she’s a grown a$$ woman and we do what grown folks do.”

no lie!!

I can’t believe this. Neyo was always my favorite artist. Except, after this, I don’t know what to say.

HEY I AM VERY CONFUSED BY THIS RUMOR, BUT NOT SUPRISED…….. BUT I AM A LITTLE WORRIED CAUSE ISN’T HIM AND CHRIS BROWN CLOSE FRIENDS? PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME WITH THIS, THE SHIT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!

my neyo is not gay

u i cant believe wat is this i met neyo i barbados and i cant believe that this shit wid happen .stupse neyo i dont have nothin
more 2 say i hope u c this cause broke my heart and i dont love u any more.at least u came out and said that u were gay but dont stop singin because u r gay well i wish u a lot of love and hope

Problem with ppl nowadays is as soon as a nigga start to make a career for himself the haters start coming out of the box. Take a closer look at the picture people anyone can see plainly it is isnt real. But whether he is gay or not that is his life to live and only one man can give him a judgement and that is God so what if he is gay or not we as human beings cant change that. Diva

People said he ain’t gay but that picture above looks like a gay man if he weren’t gay he wouldn’t of took that picture.

I have the october issue of essence and no where in there does it say anything about Ne-Yo confessing he was gay LOL..people what’s up w/ all these damn rumors..it’s crazy lol

yo i knew he wasnt gay but gosh he is fine

personally i think that ppl r a bunch of haters and they always got sumthn 2 say about ppl

Hm;wouldnt surprise me.
But it’s his life…

Wasn’t he getting a BJ from some chick?

A man getting a BJ from another man is one of those shady areas. If many men would get a NSA BJ from some to up nasty chick with some sores on her mouth, I really can’t say that getting one from a man is out of the question. I’m not a man, so I can’t tell you. Men do a lot of things I don’t understand.

That was a great choice of picture btw.

i would still beat it up!!!! That boy is SEXII

yo neyo i cant belive you gay and yor wit another man you stupi gay lord

lol this obviously wasnt written by a real journalist, there are tons are grammatic errors, and nobody really talks the way that was written, its too perfect. “Yes, I am gay, and I have always been.” I mean, ive heard his interviews, and i know his language patterns…this doesnt match, he wouldnt truthfully reply in the fashion he did here. And besides, i know for a fact that Ne-yo is bi, not gay, so he wouldnt testify to be gay when he isnt. Oh well.

I kinda dont know what to beleive….I mean he has so many fine ass females in his videos I jus dont know….But on the real tip who even gives a fuck if the nigga gay or not I mean shyd da nigga makin boo-coo money so if he gay so be it!

If you guys search the interview on google, type (essence.com neyo interview) he doesn’t any of this sh*t that guy has money and he’s not ugly ( no homo) he can so much pussy if he wants why poke a dude in the butt

i know thats right yall neyo is the best singer and song writer out here and i don’t believe any of this, that pic up there is crasy but i don’t care because its all a lie ne-yo is not gay so don’t believe the lies.

THAT IS BULL SHIT IF HE GAY WHAT HE DOING WITH A FUCKIN KID SO YALL HATERS CAN STOP HATIN ON NE-YO THEN THEY SAY HE FUCKIN THE WOMEN IN ALL DIFFERENT STYLES MAKE UP YALL DAMN MINDS DAMN! YALL HATERS ARE SO CORNY ALL CUZ YALL WANT SOME MONEY DAMN GET A JOB CUZ IF YALL THINK JUST CUZ YALL PUT THAT FAKE RUMOR ON HERE PEOPLE WHO WAS BEING FANS WAS GOING TO STOP BUYING HIS MUSIC AND LOVING HIM WELL FUCK YALL HATERS YOU GAY AND U ANI’T MESSING UP MY ROLE MODEL NE-YO AT ALL CUZ I’M STILL 1 OF HIS #1 FANS HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

i think neyo is not gay

I personally don’t know whether to believe if Neyo is gay or not. I think that he is tooo foine for there to be anything wrong, but at the same time, that would be a total waste of man meat.

I see why so many mofos walk around frowning all up and shit
for no damn reason….if they didn’t, 90% of you ghetto assed
hoodrats would say, or think, they were gay. Ain’t shit about
that damn pic looking like anything but whats perhaps his attempt
to look sexy. Half these rappers that y’all think are so much Man,
are the ones creeping on the downlow, but because they snarl
and scowl, y’all are ready to drop yo’ drawz and create yet anotha
child. Why don’t you silly hoes go wait by the mailbox for yo’
check to be delivered, and get out of peep’s mix?? Gay/Straight,
who cares? Go VOTE!!!

You are obviously doing something right Ne-Yo for someone to create something so childish. Even if it were true who’s business is it? YOURS!!! I truly don’t believe that it’s true but does it really matter who is doing who? Ne-Yo is a wonderful, talented artist. At the end of the day his music is still remarkable, track after track! Those individual posting the negativity…..do you not have anything else better to do? Let’s grow up and be adults and appreciate the artistic way of Ne-Yo!!!!

Well I have always felt that Ne-Yo and several others were gay, however I choose to judge people by the content of their character. If you are you then I still will roll with you as a friend. People use to be burned at the stake and shunned years ago for things that are accepted on tv today. However, sexuality is not one of them. Ne-yo hold your head up. I would rather a brother come out of the closet than to be a down low brother so a sister will know.

Negative dis dude is not gay….duttn he have kids of his own???…..two Essence is a female magazine about women inpowerment they wudnt give a crap about Ne-yo….3rd if you cannot tell that that is Ne-Yo’s head photo chopped on to someone elses body then you dont know the artist anyway….do you think singn the songs he sings and having concerts that he wouldnt show off a body of that stature??? and we would have thousands of pics of that already swimming on the http://WWW….come on….until Ne-yo says it on tv and that interview is blasted all over the place with him saying it this is all bull crap period
