On The Down-Low Brothers In The Church
When I was coming up, if a heterosexual male or female were not married at a certain age, he or she would be labeled as either being gay or a lesbian. However, this is not the case anymore, due to the fact that so many married men are on the down-low, meaning married men who have affairs with other men. This is becoming very prevalent in the church, according to many of it’s leaders. Some women are beginning to turn their spouses in to their church pastors and leaders, while others are keeping it a secret, because they are so embarrassed to let others know. Even some of the church leaders are a bit shaky, like Bishop Eddie Long. A few sisters at the church where I attend are currently dealing with this issue. I would like to say to all the down-low brothers, inside and outside of the church, ” don’t go and date or marry a woman, messing up her life, as well as putting it in danger. If you want a man than get you a man, and I will say the same to closet lesbians, who have husbands, but knowing in their hearts, they possess sexual desires for young women. Stop messing up people’s lives.”

Yes, this taboo topic is something we deal with in the church. It’s something I had to deal with and overcome on a personal level. My husband was a pastor and he was on the down low. It’s not something Christians talk about but it’s something we face. After his illicit affair with a young boy in the church he decided to take matters – and his life – into his own hands. On the church ground. Now, I share my experience and testimony through my memoir, The Upside of the Down Low, a Pastor’s Wife’s Memoir. In addition to prayer, this sore won’t go away until it is discussed and bridged through honest and true dialogue.
