or Gay masters?

God was telling people not to be homosexuals back in the Old Testament. You do the math.








Please do not make negative comments about a film YOU NEVER SAW. It makes you look stupid.

To the OP: WHY? What does it matter?

Researching a script and a book -- the original Lewis and Clark reports had entries about gay native Americans... they were considered special spirits - and LEFT ALONE. Thank God we have God... and the Religious Folks to make use of any discriminatory item they can for their own use. (im atheist btw).

Well, I assume they probably were gay massa. The movie "Drum" a sequel to "Mandingo" starring Ken Norton had a scene when the slave massa wanted to have sex with Drum. It never dawned on me, but I guess there were massa who tried to get with male slaves.

I assume that one day, there will be a movie about it.
