Is Gay the new Black?

Then in the interest of saving tax dollars, I will support the equality of granting undeserved privileges for all that only most have enjoyed, rather than erasing undeserved privileges for all.

The history of the American"black" culture and the history of the American"gay" culture are two different experiences. But both cultures do suffer prejudice.
Not every black person looks black, and not every gay person looks gay. We can get ourselves into trouble when we jump to conclusions about a person just by the way they look when we first percieve them.

There is enough room for everyone in America no matter what their appearence or sexual preference as long as they are law abiding citizens and good neighbors.
Just MO.

I am just me but if an adult is in a caring loving consensual relationship with another adult who are we to judge? Is there so much hatred in the world that we cannot tolerate love in form not the same as our own?

I think some people just need someone to hate,they need to pour out their venom onto someone else so that they will feel better in their own miserable exsitence .

I don't care, really! <------I'm wondering if there should be a comma after "care"...

I think you - people living in the United States - are in a very good situation regarding the rights of homosexuals. I don't know the american society, have never been to America but it always seemed to me a wise and liberal nation. Not very long time ago I visited such a stupid country as Poland, you know this bastard-country in Eastern Europe, and I was really astonished how intolerant Poles are when it comes to the issue of sexual orientation. My jewish grand-parents used to live in Poland before the world war two (that's why I'm curious how it looks like and visit there) and I must say I am really very compassionate and sad when I think how hard it must have been for them to live in such an intolerant and cruel country. Imagine - even today gays have no rights there, they cannot reveal their orientation, because otherwise, I mean - if they did it in public, they would be mocked, laughed at and persecuted. They would lose their job and be excluded from the community they live in. There are special programs on TV that are devoted only to persecuting and mocking gays. If someone says they support gays, they are immediately proclaimed the public enemy number one. So - to sum up I would say you should thank god (if it exists) that you live in the US, not in Poland. It applies first of all to those who are gay.

No it isnt and thats a shameful way to quanitify the plight of the black people in america.

Being black cant be helped, you are black if your black, practicing homosexuality is a choice, it is not an unchangeable factor like being black is. Practicing homosexuality is a behavior.

They are sodomites thats what they do, if the bus driver looses his job because of this or is reprimanded then he ought to counter sue the man who complained.

This whole issue is a bunch of horse crap.

I think I should consider Poland as my next country to relocate to.

Which will be the bases of this entire argument until the end of time I think.
