Basically the story “Out in the night” is about a group of young friends, African American lesbians. They were out in the gay neighborhood of New York City. One of them is Renata a single mother and Femme Patreese Johnson. The group of them were walking in this area and an older man sexually and violently confronted them. He says to Patreese “let me get some of that” as he points below her waist. When she says that they are gay, the man becomes violent and threatens to “fuck them straight”. He is acting like because they are gays, they need a man. It is typical when a man sees a couple of girls together and says, “you just need a good man.” However, we need to accept and respect any decision that others make about themselves.
