I watched the show and thought initially that Carlton was a complete ass but then quickly realized that he was covering up for something. It was evident that he was acting the way he was during the show because he wanted to put a wedge between him and Diamond. I turned to my wife and told her that he swings both ways. She didn't believe me and then he told Diamond that he had something to tell her. I was spot on. I asked me wife what would be her response to someone like Carlton and she clearly said that she could never date a man that had dated other men. The double standard is real. Society (especially in the black community) has engrained ideas of maculinity and what it means to be a man into Black women's minds. A black woman accepting someone that is gay/bisexual/fluid as a friend is one thing, accepting a black man as a dating partner with those tendancies is another. Carlton should have been up front about it from the jump and not acted like an ass to Diamond
