R&B singer Tank has argued that performing oral sex on other men does not make you gay. Do you think that means he has a little sugar in his TANK?

The singer made the claim while appearing on podcast Lip Service to promote new album Elevation.

Host Angela Yee had asked: “Let’s say he sucked a d**k one time… say twice… does that make him gay?”

Tank: ‘The art of being gay is being gay.’

Tank patiently explained: “No, here’s the thing. Twice is excessive, but let’s dig in to it.

“He sucked a dick once and then he’s like, ‘I’m not sure if I liked it or not. Let me try again.’

“And then he says, ‘You know what, it’s not for me, I don’t like the taste!’

People have a lot of opinions, naturally.

The clip has naturally been getting a lot of attention on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: “You’d be surprised how many men actually think like this.

“They equate homosexuality with a certain lifestyle, they believe being flamboyant, wearing meshed tank tops, and moisturising makes them gay not having sexual encounters with other men.”

However, another commenter argued: “Trying gay or lesbian sex does not make you gay or a lesbian. You can try something and decide it’s not for you.

“That does not make you gay or a lesbian or even bi it means the person was bicurious and figured out it wasn’t for them. USE YOUR BRAINS WHAT’S NOT CLICKING.”

They pointed out a “double standard” between genders because it is not considered unusual for straight women to experiment with other women, adding: “Men are shunned for experimenting because of patriarchy and homophobia.”

Out notes that Tank previously performed at a DC Black Pride event in 2017, standing firm as a supporter for LGBT+ equality.
