this is what he is doing now via us weekly…
Living his most authentic life. Star Jones’ ex-husband, Al Reynolds, has come out as bisexual.
“Today, I accept myself as a bisexual man,” the Chicago-based attorney told Radar in a new interview published on Thursday, November 2. “Ever since I have been in the public eye, people have been speculating on my sexuality. And ‘speculating’ is a kind word for how it actually played out. With anger and disdain, people have ben calling me out as gay, closeted, a sham and even nastier; much nastier.”
The Wall Street executive, who split from 55-year-old Jones in 2008 after four years of marriage, explained that he is finally comfortable opening up about his sexuality “I have come to a point in my life where I am ready to discuss my truth,” he continued. “I wasn’t ready to do this then — I wasn’t even ready to think about it, let alone process it. To understand my journey and how I got to this point, you need to understand a little about me.”
Reynolds, the youngest of six children, revealed that he was born into a “deeply religious” Southern Baptist family and attended church regularly. “My life was filled with vacation bible school, missionary meetings, Sunday school, choir practice and youth ministry,” he noted. “Life was not nuanced or frivolous, nor did it allow any time for introspection. It was clear and proscribed, black and white, angels or sinners. And people who were intimate with others of their own gender were the worst of all within chance of redemption, or the glorious afterlife that I was taught awaited us all.”
“As a black man, that message and hate and homophobia were multiplied to the nth degree. I saw no path out that would resolve my personal feelings with my deeply held and ingrained religious beliefs,” he continued. “This internal dissonance was a powerful thing, like a cancer eating at one’s soul. This resulted in some tough times — homelessness, unemployment, dependence on drugs and alcohol, public assistance, and, at the center of it all, a deep, deep shame and a feeling of unworthiness of the love of God. I didn’t believe I deserved to live a good life, and I clearly didn’t.”
Reynolds then went on to say that his involvement in the business world helped him come to a realization that he would be more happy and fulfilled if he came out and lived as his most genuine self.
“I have learned that sexual orientation is not binary, at least for me,” he concluded. “I am capable of loving both sexes, and I have done both. My relationships, all of them, have been honest and based on my attraction to the other person. When I am in love I don’t equivocate, nor do I waver. I tell this story to both encourage my personal path, as well as give some small measure of hope to others that no matter your beginnings, no matter the obstacles, there is nothing so fulfilling and Godlike as living the life that was destined.”
i mean,
his nickname back then was “bi gay al”.
whatever he chooses to be,
we need to accept it.
he might be genuinely bisexual.
that is a thing folks like to dismiss from others.
*waves to my bisexual foxhole*
whatever al is doing,
i’ll allow it.
this all gets me to wondering tho…
Do some vixens naturally attract “confused gays” to them?
most of us saw something star jones obviously didn’t.
lowkey: what does al do now?
he seems very “attentionisto/look i know celebs” per ( x his ig ).

Good for him
You wasted font, time and good Issa picture on this …yawn
Even though it was assumed he was all this time by damn near everyone, I am glad that he is now standing in his truth.
It was just a matter of time when the truth would come out. Alway had a crush on him and I who he has on the side. Its amazing someone of a professional status to hold a secret for so long
I really don’t like when closeted gay men coming out want to say that they are bi-sexual. It’s like they’re still trying to hold on to their straight life or “manhood.” Be a man and come out as gay and LIVE your LIFE. You only have one life to live, be happy and live it HONESTLY!!
Oh lord…do we have to go down this road again?
Why do some gay men have a problem if a guy likes to stick his dick in an asshole AND a vagina?! They can be attracted to BOTH. If you are strictly dickly, that’s YOU…but don’t tell someone that they are not genuinely attracted to men AND women. I can’t speak for Al, but there are men out there who are. GTFOHWTBS
Thank you Christian let that man be it’s already hard for BLACK men to come out the closet as it is.
:-)*
I am curious when he made this decision to come out because Star announced her engagement last week.I hope he isn’t trying to steal her thunder.Maybe it’s a coincidence.
Well good for him for living his truth.
He was called “Big Gay Al” repeatedly. I’m happy for him.
Good for him. Im not apart of Vagina Chronicles but if that floats his boat…let him grab the pole & set sail for the motherland.
This is what I have to say about bi-sexual people…
Lies he tell
Why not just admit to being a homosexual. I have when these men continue this charade by saying they’re Bi.
