Was Malcolm X gay?
Probably old news, but new to me.

Anyone else here know anything about this?

4. Well, maybe?
I suppose it's possible that publicizing Malcom's bisexuality now might help to get the Nation of Islam to relax their anti-gay position. But I kind of doubt it.

8. Um... This is Not Exactly Authoritative
The good thing about the Web is that anyone can post anything on it.
