Are homosexuals enslaved?
Are they dying by the millions?
Isn't it true that many homosexuals currently occupy the highest strata of modern society, moreso than other "oppressed groups"?
Exactly.
Further evidence of the rampant nearsightedness all too prevalent when this topic is brought up.
We have very little compassion or unity as a society for truly oppressed factions and really desperate causes but we will frantically gobble up whatever fast food is placed on our plate by the media. This topic is a perfect example of that.
Threads about racial profiling, child labor, environmental destruction, incarceration disparity, neo-colonialism, draconian immigration policies etc. don't stand a chance with out peer group but mutter anything about "homosexual equality" and the uproar will be deafening.
You'll swear that "gay people" are being shackled en masse and forced to live a life of servitude, rather then living in posh enclaves like Beverly Hills and SoHo; often looking down on the same people championing "homosexual equality".

So what do you say to Black and Latino gay men?
Do they all occupy the highest strata of society? Or did you take a minute portion of a people and try to extrapolate it as the norm?
The same way you point out gay people living in Beverly Hills and SoHo, a white person in Russia can say "What do you mean racism and inequality? Every Black man I've ever seen is a rapper or ball player and makes more money in a year than my entire town combined has ever made."
My point is, generalizing is stupid.
Just because one group has it bad doesn't mean the other group doesn't deserve to be outraged over injustices committed against them. This "me against the world, why should I care about the next man" attitude is why the elite privileged class you love to tin foil hat about keeps putting one over you.
You think the big scam is them presenting other group's problems to distract from your own. When in fact you don't even realize that the scam they're running is convincing you you're so different from those other groups. Divide and conquer.
And you, whose eyes are so wide open, don't even see it.
And truthfully, it makes me weep as a Black man, when our people who have suffered so much can turn and persecute another, just because their pain isn't the exact same that you experienced.
Black Californian's are nowhere to be found when judges, state reps, and senators who look the other way while Rodney King is being beaten are elected. But they show up in record numbers when Prop 8 is on the ballot.
But the gays are the ones leading the new world order, right? It's so much easier to point a finger elsewhere than to just look in a mirror and accept hypocrisy for what it is.
If you can't see that, then you just don't want to.
