Essence on the DL

Essence readers have been hoping mad over the whole down low controversy. The November 2004 edition is a special men's issue. The editors devote an entire page to letters about their two articles on the subject. The letters run the gamut from "the Black community has yet to accept the fact that Black men may want to be with other men" to "how dare you print an article shaming our people?" Yadda, yadda, yadda. Email your letter to the editors at mailto:letters@essence.com.
