5 Reasons Gay is Not the New Black

i live on Earth, people view and discriminate against young black dudes all the time.
I'm like whatever about that at this point... we can advance regardless of what people think.. it's not like CACerism is going anywhere soon.
Gay people are able to do the same except they aren't as institutionally oppressed as black people. Except their history of oppression isn't even close to black people. Except to have full rights all they would have to do is increase the scope of civil unions - which isn't a difficult fight.
If This were some reversed situation I would probably just live a normal life w my mate the same way gay couples do all the time - and keep it moving.

LOL
gays are wrong to try to appropriate racial struggles in a lazy manner. race and lifestyle politics are extremely different, and in america, being black is far more of a burden than being gay of any color. the degree of differences in severity and number of ways it is worse make it pretty offensive for desperate and careless gay people (and their straight allies like that wack ass macklemore) to try to draw broad comparisons
there are some times where you can make reasonable comparisons. for instance, the rationale for hate crime legislation is pretty much applicable to anybody in a protected-class situation; gays, blacks, jews, brooklyn nets fans, etc. it stands to reason that gay people can get the shyt kicked out of them based on their identity just like black people can get the shyt kicked out of them based on identity, so if you believe in the value of establishing a special set of punishments to these acts of domestic terrorism, you would want to apply it to all identity based "political" violence.
however, i am always suspicious of people who use this misdeed on the part of gays as a time to attack them. typically, people who are otherwise neutral to or allied with the gay struggle tend to not beat them over the head about this, even when they take offense to it. i kinda think this is the respectable homophobe's way of attacking gays without losing respectability. kinda like a cac calling richard sherman a thug when you want to call him something else...

You saw the true nature of the "gay agenda" after that whole prop 8 fiasco...black people were automatically made the villain by the gay rights brigade and liberals for having the audacity to vote the way they wanted to. Disgusting.
I cringe every time I hear "people of color/women/LGBT community..." why do we all have to be lumped together like that? fukk that

And even now we still barely have basic human rights.
