Cleo Manago is an African American activist and social architect who coined the term Same gender loving (or SGL) for African descended or Black people who identify as gay, bisexual or lesbian.〔〔〔Editor: Coleman, Monica A., (contributor: Layli Maparyan), "''Ain't I a Womanist, Too?: Third-Wave Womanist Religious Thought"'', Fortress Press (2013), p. 193, ISBN 9780800698768 ()〕 Along with his activism, he is also a blogger and columnist.〔''"Getting at the Root of Black "Homophobic" Speech"'' by Cleo Manago, () The Dogon Village ()〕〔Cleo Manago's official blog ()〕 Manago rejects the terms ''gay'', ''bisexual'' and ''lesbian'' because they are White eurocentric constructed identities which do not culturally affirm the culture and history of African descended people.〔〔 Manago is also the founder and CEO of ''"AmASSI Health and Cultural Centers"'' and ''"Black Men's Xchange"'' (BMX), and is also credited for coining the term men who have sex with men.〔The Huffington Post ("Cleo Manago: The Most Dangerous Black Gay Man?" ) by Irene Monroe, February 17, 2012〕〔Editors: Aggleton, Peter; Parker, Richard, ''"Routledge Handbook of Sexuality, Health and Rights"'', Routledge (2010), p. 459, ISBN 9781135272883 () retrieved July 10, 2015〕 ==Early life and other activities== Manago is a native of south-central Los Angeles and began a vocation in social services when he was 16 years of age.〔 He was once a professional musician (a bassist).〔 in Cleo Manago's blog〕 He is a blogger and has written several articles some of which have been published by Dogon Village.〔Cleo Manago's articles in Dogon Village () retrieved July 10, 2015〕 In 2011, he co-authored, produced, directed and starred in the educational documentary ''"I AM A MAN: Black Manhood & Sexual Diversity"''〔(''"Explosive New Film featuring Al Sharpton and Cleo Manago Addresses Black Men’s Challenges with Manhood, Sexuality and Masculinity"'', September 13, 2011 ) () Kick Mag, retrieved July 10, 2015〕〔Official Facebook page of ''"I AM A MAN: Black Manhood & Sexual Diversity"'' () retrieved July 10, 2015〕 Although usually referred to as a "social activist", Manago dislikes the term "activist" when applied to him. He believes black LGBT activism to be "tethered to mainstream white privilege, ideology, and single-focused gay organizations," which he views as culturally dissonant and too limited in scope to be meaningful and beneficial to African-American LGBTQ communities and the larger black community.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cleo Manago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
