BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN (EP. 35)

[@amieklein6043]

This podcast is the most healthy representation of black men out! Instead of spending time arguing, complaining and bashing women, they are focused on growth, uplifting, healthy conversation and evolving. We need more of this but of course people are only drawn to negativity. Wishing more success to y’all and keep thriving!

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Positive vibes only! 🥃

[@diamondtowns8203]

Couldn’t agree any more!!!

[@savannaghhartwell5106]

I can’t agree with you anymore!!!! Well said.

[@cbrantley65]

Agreed 1000%

[@SL-ew7qb]

They/the show makes my heart sooo warm 🖤🖤🖤 Black MEN are top tier!!!! PERIOD!

[@Mistertisdale]

You guys deliberately and intentionally raise the bar e-v-e-r-y single time! You’ll be surprised how much we all have in common as black men first and foremost. Thank you all for creating a space to bridge the gap between gay and straight men. It is needed! I hope that this becomes a domino effect.

This is one of the BEST Straight/Gay conversation I've ever seen. I can't believe that I just came upon this 2 year old video. I didn't want the conversation to end. I would like to know if you guys got together again on a later time?

[@SameOlHim]

LOVE this! I love when heterosexual BLACK men actually sit down and have that conversation with us, and vice versa. I’m definitely checking out more videos on this channel. ✊🏾🤎✨

[@lifewithli616]

This is so important and I just love the fact that you three opened up the floor for this conversation 🤍

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

[@Lisa-rl3ob]

Do you know which side was the straight side ? I’m confused 😂

[@Snicklez89]

Okay 3 things… 1. I am lowkey impressed because no other cis gender heterosexual male podcast has done this and probably won’t do this. This is SO important. 2. This absolutely needs a part two and i would challenge y’all to have on more flamboyant gay men and also gay men who are not well connected and rich. Not saying the men that were on didn’t face challenges obviously but they do have certain privileges because of their status and money. 3. So i can’t remember if someone said this but i have heard this MANY MANY times from gay black men. Black male barbershops are NOT a safe space for YOUNG gay boys. Mostly because they hear very violent and hostile rhetoric constantly about being gay so i can’t imagine how it feels to be 5 or 7 or 10 heating how much you aren’t accepted or how much you’re hated. Jalon being a barbershop owner I’m sure is cognizant of this but it’s never too late to make sure places that you’re opening for business are a safe haven for everyone 💜

[@Journeythirties]

Grew up in s Christian household *pentecostal to be exact* and I’m glad my parents never let us disrespect anyone and had us around people from all different types of lifestyles. My Father (straight man) respected everyone and treated everyone the same, gay or straight. Glad other straight men are learning you can go exist. You can not understand and disagree but still love coexist and respect each other. Good podcast. 👏🏽

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Thank you!🥃

[@thankyoumranderson4394]

This is a dope show and it’s time to bridge the gap because men are men… sexually is spiritual. This is amazing to witness. Thanks fellas for starting the conversation between black men. We all we got.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

We all we got! 🥃

[@KKING123]

LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU TO THE GUYS! IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO SEE BLACK STRAIGHT MEN HAVING A REAL CONVERSATION WITH GAY MEN. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE ALL MEN✊🏿💪🏿👑

[@Jerry-x3t]

This was an AWESOME PODCAST! I'm so PROUD of my black gay brothers for explaining and dismissing stereotypes and for the straight brothers to learn a lesson from these courageous black gay 👑👑👑👑 king's!✌️👍👍👍

[@sparkwill5337]

This is a BEAUTIFUL PODCAST!!!!!!! So proud to see All of these BEAUTIFUL BLACK MEN come together in this way. For understanding I love it. Bless all of y’all I’m bout to cry ok bye

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Love!🥃

[@brandondinkins5696]

Definitely a truly needed discussion. Appreciated the geniuneness and openess, which at times is not always true. As a gay black man, who grew up in the south and the church, it was nice to see the diversity of men on stage. Its just great seen the culture come together and uplift each other across all specturms.

[@skylarofcourse]

❤️This was such a great episode and very necessary in our current climate. We need these type of discussions in order to fully bring the black community together. So much of homophobia and transphobia is based out lack of knowledge. Stereotypes and misconceptions on both ends as caused unnecessary division for way too long!

[@quadariusgreen5843]

I wish the conversation could’ve been longer I learned a lot. I would like to have been there to ask questions for myself. Great podcast as usual.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

[@KingMaxMcqueen]

This conversation was incredible and SO necessary! ✨👌🏾

[@OhDatsJaVion]

This is why I support this show because! They are true representation of black American millennial men

[@jo7524]

I didn't catch his name but the guy with the Howard hoodie, he really hit a point that people need to understand. He said he knew he was gay but hadn't had sex with a man so he didn't really think he was. To me that says gay ppl are born that way. I'm straight but that resonates with me bc before I had sex with a boy, I knew i was straight!!!! We are all beings, let us be!

[@germainapowell3739]

I am doing my final paper on the spectrum of masculinity and I'm a fan of the three guests on this episode, so I had to watch. This was such a great discussion and I wish there was more time for more dialogue because it is much needed. Some of the points made were very eye opening and will drive home some of my topic points, so I will be using parts of the discussion in my paper. I hope this leads to more conversations people beyond your podcast.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Glad we could help! 🥃🥃🥃

[@JasmineBester]

This conversation is so long overdue, I’m happy that this was a safe space for gay men to speak their peace without judgement

[@deion1127]

This podcast is too real! I truly appreciate the work y’all are duin! Y’all are really helping the culture and the world! ✊🏾💙

[@rodericwalter2862]

Excellent work. This should be a series to discuss spaces where everyone should be comfortable as who they are: The barbershop, destination restaurants for couples celebrating romance, the workplace, etc. We stand to benefit from a series that sets the stage to know each other's history. Keep up the great work.

[@Momdrogynous]

I just started this but I LOVE that you brought these 3 guys, in particular. They all are so talented, and I've enjoyed watching their careers flourish over the years. I'm excited to continue watching.

[@kammore6209]

This was a great conversation. No arguing, just listening. A lot of the time it seems like some straight men see gay people as less than and just want to humiliate/hurt us. I really appreciate you 3 for not being like that and trying to understand ❤️

[@atiyanai8681]

I respect y’all so much for this 👏🏾 because at the end of the day everyone’s sexuality is their business. It’s all about the person who they r at the end of the day.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

🥃🥃🥃

[@Jay_Dickenson]

Just discovered your podcast and this is the first of many episodes I’ll be watching. It’s very rare yet refreshing to see heterosexual black men who are comfortable in their own skin and can engage in conversation with another black man who just happens to be gay. Continued blessings to you all!!!

[@GreenyieTyD27]

This episode was amazing! The transparency, respect and maturity is unmatched!!!

[@ruqiyyahshelley9972]

Loved this convo! It’s natural for us as humans to be judgmental. The complexities of the world are so vast that we should not close our minds off to concepts we do not identify with regarding sexuality & gender. If we cannot show love and respect then the problem is with ourselves.

[@Shesosassygirl]

much needed conversation. Y’all picked the perfect 3 men to have this conversation with !

[@laceyarrie]

When I say you three fellas are changing the world, I mean it in the best way possible. I haven’t even watched the episode yet I am blown away at where you’re willing to go and how you are opening up a dialogue and changing the culture in a way that just might help save us all. I didn’t even “do” podcasts before I began watching this one and in a short couple of months, I’ve cleaned up my credit (nearly 100 points in 30 days and that’s because you led me to the Dead Ass Podcast that then led to The Budgetnista..), started an LLC (again due to you guys opening up me to the world of podcasts which led me to Gary Vee’s daily podcast- need I say more?), bought an RV and quit my job to pursue my passions 24/7. All I can say is thank you, thank you, 🙏🏾 P.S. VVI’s save me when I’m in a tight and Chanel is how I found any of you in the first place on IG! So much love to the First Ladies! 🥰😘

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

WOW!!! Keep going! 🥃🥃🥃

[@WhoIsTheeMeister]

Y’all are so amazing I swear it’s easy to see how God is using y’all and I am in love with the way God moved through y’all so smoothly, purely and gently 🔥

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

Thank you! 🥃🙏

[@aubreeriley818]

First episode I’ve seen of this podcast and this was fire af! What a great conversation, my heart was full seeing all you black kings having such dope dialogue. I’d love to see a part two with gay men who are more flamboyant though because it is a very nuanced subject. Id love to hear more perspectives.

[@_foreverbobo]

Great episode ! just as y’all mentioned, it comes down to being confident in knowing who you are! the bridge between the two can be bonded so much more with these type of conversations 🖤

[@aljeronroker8782]

This was a much needed conversation 💛

[@GodGaveMeAVoice]

I haven’t even watched the episode yet but by the title.. y’all did that! Wow.

[@sparkwill5337]

Right?!?!?

[@nauticamaxwell1916]

i’m loving the fact that yall are bringing guests on this season!!

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

More to come!🥃

[@zoeworld7999]

We need a part 2 this was absolutely refreshing to see

[@MerrilThePearl]

Favorite episode thus far 🔥 being a Cali gay nigga from the hood I related 1000%

[@carolynelbert6441]

I love this show and my favorite thing about each show are the topics! I love that you all can come together to have healthy, honest and enlightening conversations. The fact that you are black men is a bonus for me! I think that all men should be confident and have an understanding of themselves. If this is the case no other person’s sexuality should be a conversation or a thing that makes you uncomfortable.

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

🥃🥃🥃

[@cbrantley65]

This conversation is needed on the regular. Breaking the barrier. We are all one. Great conversation.

[@xobreove]

I absolutely loved this episode! Love the dynamic and conversation between all of you.

[@ciaraclement3089]

Late to this conversation, but I thought it was an incredible conversation. A conversation that definitely made you yearn for more. I love the Nice and Neat podcast. I'm never disappointed, I always learn a lot and I share episodes that I think people who follow me might enjoy. I can't wait to continue to go down all the videos on the nice and neat podcast. 💚 Also that 10 minute six pack video on Chanel and Duke kicks my ass ! Lol 😂

[@trac2447]

[@reemcfall]

As always, I stumbled upon this show and am pleasantly surprised at how much I love the content and talks. At 56 years old and happily married a lot doesn’t apply to me, but trust I’m still learning a lot. I applaud all 3 of you for giving the culture much needed conversations! Bravo 👏🏽 and wishing you continued Blessings and success!

[@abbymutiganzi3990]

I keep deeping it but I feel like I haven't fully deeped it. Like, Do you know what this conversation means for black culture. Cuddos to the team for taking the time to acknowledge this divide and put active effort to do something about it

[@jeromegazon7550]

Thx 4 thé topic , it' s relevant Idea. Now I vé heard not that much or do little in thé straight point of view that there s no learning. Guys you ve to fig deeper if you want to speak or bring something out. Yo bé intellectually honnest you have to go further in your thoughts. Good Luck in your future makings

[@TheGiftOfGab1]

Spitting fkn FACTS bro I’m so thankful y’all did this . And picked the right guys to represent us 🚨❤️‍🔥💯

[@amareb529]

This conversation was healthy and productive. I commend all the men on the panel. But….. People say they support the lgbtq community until it’s TIME to support the community. Until we’re on your tv screens playing your favorite characters. Until we’re college professors educating your children. Until we’re invited to your favorite rappers parties. Until we take up space that heterosexual people feel entitled to own and should be off limits. It becomes a problem because being in the same space with us, forces you to confront your own homophobia. Asking us to be less of ourselves in order to make society feel comfortable. The gap between straight and gay men won’t be bridged until you can accept and RESPECT the community in PUBLIC and in private. Until you see us as people and not characters. Until you use your platform to protest and March for trans women and gay men being killed the same way that the lgbtq community Marches for ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER. Until you realize that our lives should be valued. Until you realize that we’re BLACK and GAY SIMULTANEOUSLY and understand our struggle and our plight. Until your willing to grow and evolve as men so that your ignorance and bigotry doesn’t breed more ignorance and bigotry into the next generation. When THAT conversation happens then we can TALK. Until then I don’t see any white flags being waved or peace treaties being signed.

[@duronbryant5921]

I feel like it won’t be respected until it’s respected more in public and media

I ain’t nobody important but I want to be on this podcast so bad because I just love the honesty & I would love to pick their brain. This was my favorite episode.

[@Slim1986]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 conversation!!!

[@loveofpassion7908]

Great podcast but why were y’all bleeping out EJ saying “Chris”??

[@sweetcynsation]

definitely needed to dive deeper into the conversation around the toxic/ misinformed rhetoric surround anti-gay agendas in the black community. AKA why didn't you let them drag Boosie and 'em cause we need to eleborate on that bias towards our gay brothers and sistahs.

[@biancamaitre4544]

Best show to date I loved it. It's time to bridge the gap

[@Hannah-uu7xq]

Love this!

[@deionjohnson8683]

This was a dope convo,I feel as a straight men or women we need to stop using their sexuality to bash straight men,I moreso see women do it,If you look at someone like A Kevin Samuel's women dont like what he has to say so they call him gay as a shaming/bashing tactic, which is corny and also says alot about how you feel about gay men if your willing to use their sexuality to bash a straight man or a man that you have no evidence to be gay but since you dont agree with him its "oh hes gay" it's quite childish actually and ignorant!

[@NiceAndNeatThePodcast]

[@isabellepierre2873]

Y’all killing it 🔥🔥

[@nauticamaxwell1916]

do a part 2 please!

[@Amare_b]

This conversation had so much potential and these three beautiful gay black men missed the mark by saying Not me I didn’t experience that because I was the cool gay and the exception 🤦🏾‍♂️ y’all need to have Queer advocates who actually want to address this issue and SPEAK about these topics. Not avoid the conversation because it doesn’t apply to them.

[@schemide]

So good 🔥

[@Effort.lyss__]

Love you guys but I was soooo looking forward to the topic of having friends of the opposite sex while in a relationship.
