Every now and then I break my self imposed rule of visiting the adult site MANDIVA.COM of only once a month. If you're not familiar with the site then you might be asking yourself why would I limit my visits, honestly when I look at the content on this page I get weak ! Go look for yourself.
So it was very surprising when I logged on and read that the Alabama creator of Mandiva was being threatened with legal action from the manager of Christian Keyes.
So who is Christian Keyes? According to his website he is an experienced actor, singer and songwriter standing over 6 feet and weighing 205 pounds. His debut album Day by Day is scheduled for release in August on his own label. He's also had roles in Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail and in the film version of Diary of A Mad Black Woman.
If you're like me and have seen both of these productions you probably still wouldn't recognize Mr. Keyes. However, if you read a variety of gay blogs or have taken off those annoying ass flyers from your windshield at the club, I'm sure you've seen countless photos of him shirtless and serving up a ton of sex appeal.
From the tone of his manager's e-mail to Mandiva it's clear that Christian's sexuality is in question and his camp is not happy about it all. On his myspace page he states, "Ladies, I am straight and single. I am not homophobic, and I respect everybody and their choices, but I DO NOT DATE MEN.
Now I don't know Mr. Keyes so I don't want to speculate about his sexuality, but I can say that I usually know a gay man when I see one and hanging with Tyler Perry doesn't exactly make you look overtly masculine, since we all know how "straight" he is. Have you guys noticed that Tyler always has a hot male lead or two in all of his productions? I digress.
One Mandiva reader left a comment that summed up this entire ridiculous stunt by Keyes' manager.
I have a question that I'm pretty sure I already know the answer too but I'm going to ask anyway. Hypothetically speaking, if Christian Keyes were openly gay and launched a career as a solo artist would it be considered career suicide in 2007?
Damn is it career suicide for me to post this? I'm sure his manager will be coming after me next! LOL!

First to all the readers who has read or will read this article let me be the first to tell you that Christian Keyes the Actor,Model & Singer is NOT GAY, HE DO NOT DATE MEN ONLY LADIES END OF STORY.
It is sad enough that our brothers are killing one another in the street, but it is even sadder to kill our own brother with harsh rumors and lies on the internet.
Our forefathers fought and struggleto get us to the point were we are today in history and the fight continues today to overcome.
Don't let their struggle be in vain by killing our brothers physically or the reputations with our unkind words.
This is just the kind of thing that other people expect of our race a lack or respect,concern and love one another.
We as Afro-American must learn to love,support and respect one another no matter what our decisions or choices are in life.
AND AGAIN LET ME ASSURE ALL READERS AGAIN THAT CHRISTIAN KEYS IS NOT GAY END OF STORY.
Most Afro-American people have a crab like spirit as soon as one make it to the top to get out, another crab come and pull him back down in the barrel.
So as Afro-American lets band togather and support,love,encourage and love one another no matter if we are gay or straight.

Kim/Anonymous..Why is someone calling him gay a "harsh" comment? Why is being gay a bad thing? People are what they are, black, white, gay, straight asian, etc.. and in the end, none of it should matter in contrast to character. So, I have to say, you just ignorant!. END OF STORY

I must say that GAY is one thing I do NOT read from this guy. I'm usually a good judge with an astonishingly sharp & discerning eye. Ladies, he's GOOD TO GO!
