"I hate gay people."

[Squirt]

You just dont get it Squirt.

A black guy, or woman, CANT pretend to be ANYTHING other than a black guy or a black woman.

Well actually they can (http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/Entert...12957&GMA=true) and according to your logic, since black people can pass for white they should, to avoid discrimination, just like Gay people should pass for straight to avoid discrimination.

You look at a man or woman in the street, how do you know if they are gay or straight?

Equal rights doesn't have anything to do with people who DON'T know your status, and EVERTHING to do with people who DO know your status. Gay, straight, Pos, obese, handicapt, etc.

Then throw in all the other things that blacks had to fight to get, that we, as gay men and women already have, the right to learn, vote, etc, etc, etc.

You have a very narrow view of what a minority is and discrimination. You are only seeing it from the black american point of view. Goto the Bahamas, Barbados, African tribes... being black is the norm ~ being Gay is a cultural death, and possibly a physical one. A racial minority changes from country to country. The LGBT community is a minority across the globe, no matter what country you're in.
