To you but it makes alot of sense. You worried about what others are doing but are doing the same thing. You just think your not because you aren't aligned with bad people in racist but you parroting white people logic too.

it seems to me this is a case of the lgbt community picking the wrong battle to fight. even so, they still find value in fighting a losing battle as long as it keeps their overall fight for "fairness" at the forefront. although i don't really understand what fair means for them anymore. seems to be a moving target and opportunistic.
fair mean not being denied something others are allowed to do
they allowed people to dress up as stormtroopers but someone cant display that they're gay?
anyone doubting whether this is homophobic in nature take a look at the history of it
Boston’s exclusionary history began in 1992 and 1993, when local courts ruled in favor of the Irish-American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston—known as GLIB—which wanted to march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
GLIB’s legal victory didn’t translate to a warm reception from parade-goers, though. Gay marchers faced slurs, spit, smoke bombs, and snowballs from dozens of spectators along the parade route, in what the Boston Globe referred to as “a 5-mile gantlet of hostility that sometimes threatened to erupt into wide-scale violence.” Thousands more parade-goers, some of them wearing T-shirts bearing the words “90 Years Without Queers,” turned their backs when the group passed. Riot police marched alongside the GLIB contingent in order to maintain calm.
After 92 consecutive years of celebrating Boston’s Hibernian heritage, the AWVC canceled the 1994 parade rather than allow LGBTQ Irish-Americans to participate. The organizers were adamant in their homophobia. Former Mayor Thomas Menino asked as many as eight other local organizations to take over the planning of the parade, but all stood together in anti-gay solidarity. In 1995, the AWVC appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, which recognized the private organizers’ right to exclude groups.

Relying on the Supreme Court is like making an arsonist a Fire Chief.

Ludicrous and completely over the top.
Lol...it is uncanny not just how you homophobic dudes arguments mirror white racists arguments and how oblivious you apparently are to that fact.
"We have less qualified black people working at my job due to affirnative action quotas. Why are people being discriminated against because they're white?"
"Racism is over. Who is still racist? I see black people on TV shows and playing football and basketball all the time. The friggin president is black."
It's unfortunate how people can be so incredibly myopic and self-centered when it comes to ethical values.
Stop being overdramatic. The point is they have the same opportunities as everyone else. Obviously there is still a minority of closed minded idiots that discriminate against people for various reasons, but the fact remains that gay people have the same chance for success as everybody else.
And who are you to judge somebody's "ethical values" what's ethical to you may not be ethical to someone else. Get off of your self righteous soapbox. You sound like

Change is inevitable...
Your words are the words of the white man...just with the word "gay" instead of "black"Stop being overdramatic. The point is they have the same opportunities as everyone else.

When you present this to the anti-gay crowd they simply twist themselves in a pretzel, and start whining about how gays and blacks should never be compared and how gay is a choice and alla that. People want to feel justified in having a blinding hatred of people unlike themselves, and will go to any lengths to hurt them within the abilities granted by society . Its sad --- you would think black folks would be more sensitive to institutional mistreatment by the majority, but apparently not in many cases. Race truly is a construct.

No they do not. To suggest that gay people are not marginalized and ostracized in society is profound ignorance. I don't think you really even believe that yourself.
lol...exactly like a Fox News junkie Rush Limbaugh watching cracker. "There's a few idiots in the KKK, but black people have just as much opportunity as anyone else. They need to get over it."
People have gigantic blindspots when it's not them that's the target. Wow.

I'm pointing out that people are often selective with your ethical values. They choose to be ignorant and myopic, and do not try to see things out of their narrow self-centered lens. When you're the recipient of intolerance, it's an unjust outrage, but when it's someone of another group, it's "Ah, deal with it."
The arguments some of the self-proclaimed "pro black" posters here make that gloss over hurdles and inequalities gay people face are splitting image identical in their logical formulation and blatant indifference to peoples' humanity as racist white people make about black people. It's almost funny. They read like an intentional parody. Hiphoplives4eva's dull ass in here talking about how the NBA is discriminating against heterosexuals.
on face value it's very easy to compare race discrimination and discrimination based on sexual orientation. in practice the scales at which they occur aren't even close. and when we include the socioeconomic status and political power of each the discrepancy is even greater in favor of gays.
the lgbt community will get what they want in terms of fairness and equality on a large scale before minorities will. that makes me feel some kind of way, not towards them but for us as black people in general.
