L. King in his book On the Down Low. It covers multiple discussions about gay sexuality, the African-American community, homophobia, and the spread of HIV. Boykin distances himself from King's conclusions, accusing him of making a name for himself by spreading misinformation.[2] He also stresses that not only African-American men who have sex with men are "on the down low".[3] He names two Caucasians, Jim McGreevey and Ed Schrock, as examples of non-blacks technically "on the down low".[4] He pinpoints how a New York Times article stating that a large number of black, gay men has been twisted to suggest that there are many men on the down low purposely infecting heterosexual, African-American women.[5] Finally, he argues that only when more African-American men and women are openly gay in the media spotlight, this will diminish homophobia in black communities or disprove that homosexuality is a predominantly white (or at least non-black) phenomenon.[6] See also
