Fags Will Never Be Niggers

Some gay leaders are reluctant to directly tie their fight to the African-American legacy.

For years, I've written about liberal fringe groups that seek legitimacy by equating their issues to the black civil rights struggle. What I find interesting with the whole Proposition 8-gay marriage clash is that the very gays who want to be like blacks, now find themselves at odds with a black population that not only is insulted by the comparison, but voted overwhelmingly against the marriage initiative.

In a cover story for the Advocate magazine titled "Gay is the New Black," Michael Joseph Gross wrote,

"These past few years we've made so much progress that we'd begun to think everybody saw us as we see ourselves. Suddenly we were faced with the reality that a majority of voters don't like us, don't think we're normal, don't believe our lives and loves count as much or are worth as much as theirs."

"... we'd begun to think everybody saw us as we see ourselves."

Been to a gay pride parade lately?

Yet even some gay leaders are reluctant to directly tie their fight to the African-American legacy. They acknowledge significant differences in the experiences of gays and blacks, ranging from slavery to the relative affluence of white gay men to the choice made by some gays to conceal their sexual orientation, which is not an option for those with darker skin.

"I believe we are very much in a modern-day civil rights struggle," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization.

Here's yet another unfortunate result of the Democrat Party's ongoing whitewash of history, both politically and academically. Some gay people are totally clueless, thus foolish in making the comparison between the American black versus gay experience.

Gays were not legally enslaved for centuries. Gays were never segregated in education, in the military, or socially overall up until the last 50 years. Again, the comparison is ludicrous.

I would never want gay people to have to walk in my shoes, but until they have, they have no right to demand a share of our legacy. It demeans the legitimate black struggle, and now that some feel empowered to say "Goes to show that Negroes truly are the most underdeveloped race when 70% are homophobic. Kind of funny because that's also their IQ", it shows some were never our friends and don't deserve whatever support they had.

  I agree totally ,homoes never were treated like blacks or natives .It is to my belief that people who hate skin coloring of blacks and natives are queers any way because they hate what is naturl.
