You can hide your sexual orientation if you want to, I can't hide my race/skin color...
No, people of color are being discriminated against because of "what" they are not because of "who" they are. Yes, discrimination is discrimination, but to say that a gay, white male is just as looked down upon by society as a straight, asian/african/latino is almost comical. 9 times out of 10, none of us can even tell a gay person from a straight person, but you can definitely look at me and tell my ethnicity with more certainty. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that gays are whining about nothing, they definitely have legitimate issues in society, I just don't think discrimination against gays is on the same level as racism...
And I shouldn't have to try to conceal my ethnicity, but we don't live in a perfect world. Like I said, most people these days can't even tell if someone is gay, but they can look at me and tell what my ethnicity is. I'm being judged before I even say a word, and somehow I'm supposed to believe that someone's sexual orientation is giving them as much problems as my skin color/ethnicity gives me? I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty hard to comprehend...Originally Posted by Method Man
