such hypocrisy....thank you. Dude is acting like the united states isn't a melting pot of cultures and subcultures one of which I'm sure he belongs to. And lol @ him acting like a black person can't "act as white as possible" to appease the corporate world and conform to social norms.Originally Posted by BK201
One gay person and a minority group aren't the same but a minority of gay people are.Originally Posted by TruthGetsBusy
A gay person and a minority are not the same. Race and sexual preference are too different things.Originally Posted by proper english
the irony.
Lets say a white racist, homophobe runs a business and interviews 2 candiates for a job. One is a straight black man and the other is a gay white man. He interviews the black man and immediately in his mind knows he won't offer the job to him. Then he interviews the gay white man. What in the interview will address his sexual preference? Nothing. So the white gay man gets the job. See the difference? What you do in your home isn't the worlds business.
If I don't like asians I can pick them out. If I don't like whites I can pick them out. How can I pick out a gay person by just looking at them? hmmmmm....that's my point. Fashion is a choice. Haircuts are a choice. Using certain slang and tone of voice is a choice. I'm not arguing that homosexuality is something you are born with or not. I don't know and don't care. My point is you can be gay and act "normal". Why is that so hard to grasp?
If you choose to wear attention seeking clothing, dye your hair, or adopt traits of another gender then that's a choice. Fashion, style, etc. is a choice and if you make those choices then you should be strong enough to deal with the attention negative or not.
Why can't there just be 2 different "struggles" or "movements" why would gays want to be grouped with african-americans? It's not the same so just chill out with all that.
Okay the gay person gets the job. But what happens after he starts putting up pix of him and his husband? *Hi Tyrone looks like you got the job after all*
What in the world is normal?
Acting normal to me is being yourself no matter what others might think of you.
You think acting normal is abiding by stupid and ridiculous social norms.
Basically what you're saying is that you can act normal(gay) and you can act normal(sheep that abides by social norms).
What you perceive as attention seeking is going to differentiate from what another person perceives as attention seeking.
For instance a sneakerhead might not see some dude wearing $350 jordans as an attention seeking tool but he may see a skinny kid wearing skinny jeans an attention seeking tool.
Why? The end result is obtaining rights that they should have already had. So why divide them if they both are striving to achieve the same thing? Seems silly to me. As if grouping them together is downplaying the struggle blacks had to go to back in the day.
WTH is gay fashion anyways, I have a lot of gay friends and they just dress like everybody else. I love how dude assumes all gay people are cross-dressers.
Has it occurred to him that someone can be homophobic and NOT RACIST. And how does he not see how the other examples I posted also apply....there are many ways people can assimilate to avoid being looked at differently. Hell even black people themselves do it in an attempt to compensate.
No one should ever have to hide who they are as a person, unless if who they are if an axe murderer who eats children or an ignorant racist then by all means do the opposite.
