11. Wow, you just wasted a lot of typing on an ill conceived notion.
One question:
Do you honestly think gay people have only been around for the last few years or so? I mean, honestly, you act like we just popped into existence in the 60s or something. We've been around forever and a day.

Seriously, the "Who's Had It Worse?" meme is getting old. It was bullshit the first time I heard someone try to use it and it's still bullshit now. Either we are for equal rights for ALL or NONE. Pick one. Trust a splinter feels the same in the backside of a gay person as it does a woman or black person or any other person.

And just because you seem to need a friendly reminder:
There are gay black women, gay black men, bisexual black women, bisexual black men, transgendered black women, transgendered black men, gay Asians, gay Native American Indians, gay Latinos, of all genders, bisexuals of every race, white gay women, white bisexual women, and MANY MANY MANY other variations thereof.

Free your mind. Quit thinking in black and white only. It limits you and it's a false premise. There is no such thing as black and white only. All black people are not straight and all white people are not gay. All poor people are not straight. All rich people are not gay. All gay people are not rich. All women are not straight. The list goes on and on and on. That's the problem. People need to quit thinking in a limiting binary code. We are not computers. We are people. That's that.

Equal rights for all means equal rights for all. That's all there is to it. Anything else is just bullshit.
