Across physics, biology, psychology, and philosophy, action is understood as a reaction to stimuli—internal, external, or subconscious. Historically, the violence of slavery created a cultural aversion to vulnerability among enslaved communities. This distrust, combined with imported Christian morality, fuelled homophobia in Black communities by framing gay behaviour as emasculating and sinful. In reaction to this, Black gay men adopted survival strategies—such as performing masculinity, secrecy, or "straight-acting" identities—to gain proximity to heterosexuality and minimise homophobic exposure.
