This is common in the African American community and hispanic communities as well.
The difference with the Gay community is that our members are made up of all races, and all members of our community have less rights then heterosexuals. Another thing to keep in mind is that when an African American child is born, he is not rejected by his parent, or family, or ridiculed because of his minority status, many members of the Gay community are and this rips at the soul of any human being, the fabric of who we are.
One can't help but to question ones worth when it's acceptable for people to lobby against their having equal rights.
Imagine the uproar if there was a lobby pushing to make it illegal for African Americans to adopt children, or marry, or have health coverage for their partners.
Coming together for equality is something that lifts the spirit and helps empower those who feel worthless. I see a day coming soon where we have found our soul again and come forward stronger then ever as a force nobody can deny is worthy of equality.
