I wonder if this means that the men interviewed here felt they had more to gain from the African American community than from the homosexual community, or if they felt more socially obligated to the African American community. This could be because race is more easily identifiable than sexual orientation at first glance and thus these men feel the need to show solidarity to this minority social group since they know they are more likely to be stigmatized as members of the African American community than the homosexual community anyways.
