What's more interesting than Malcolm X’s sexuality is how people react to the suggestion of him being queer. But anyway, let’s dive in.

This question of Malcolm X's sexuality has been around since the 1990s with the publishing of MALCOLM X by Bruce Perry, then again with Manning Marable's book. Are these books worthy sources of information? And why does the possibility of Malcolm X being bisexual make anyone uncomfortable... the answer is probably. HOMOPHOBIA.
