I want to start this off by saying that I always promised myself to not reveal much of my personal information on ATRL, but I believe that the members here have all been through many different things, and are from all around the world, and could really give a good discussion for this topic.
I am of Irish,Cherokee,French, and African descent, and was blessed with beautiful pecan brown skin, hazel green eyes and long reddish brown hair. Many people would just consider me "black" because of my skin tome.. I have no problem with that since I am mainly African and proud of who I am, BUT being a minority in the gay community really damages my view of myself sometimes.
I have read so many times on gay dating sites "white,latino, or asian only" or "not really attracted to black guys" and it really hurts tbh. I, myself am obsessed with other cultures and I love dating foreign guys and as a result of this obsession I know more than 10 languages other than my native one. Being black and gay in the any community is so hard when you have to stay strong about your constant judgment of your sexuality and prejudice against your race. I am not saying I have always been single. Many people hit on me and my last relationship was with the love of my life for two years.
I just feel like it is harder for me in dating or even hookups for that matter.
What are your experiences in interracial dating in the gay scene or even if you aren't gay or are a girl? is it hard for you? Do you date people of other cultures and ethnicity? Do your parents approve? ect.
(SORRY FOR THE LENGTH, I AM REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS
