Being of Africian descent is an immutable charateristic. Some, not all, but some people choose to be gay whenever the shoe fits. We as a class of people were placed in slavery to generate an exorbitant amount of capital for. basically white americans, some of whom have gay descendants, who fought against those very civil rights you now claim should protect you. Blacks have been traditionally discriminated against based on nothing more than skin color. If you are a black or other minority gay, then you are protected by those same civil rights of which you attempt to claim you are denied.

If the civil rights of Black Americans had been put to a vote in those days, there would be very few freedoms available to those that are currently working very hard to deny my rights to me. I find it sickening that people that once benefited from the legislation of rights would now be shown to be hypocrites of the worst sort while they work to deny freedom from the people that once marched at their side in the name of freedom. By denying the same right to legislated civil rights to the gay community, the black community is showing just how unworthy of love and respect some of them truly are.

What rights of yours could I vote on? Your right to marriage, perhaps? And the only agenda for us is EQUALITY! Unbelievable. What rights of yours could I vote on? Your right to marriage, perhaps?
