that they survive and don't understand. You missed the point. Tell that to the Hispanic men and women that are presumed "illegal". Tell ALL of them that whatever race or color that somehow are underprivileged that they should be delighted that they fall in the class of homosexual, and therefore aren't real people and not representative of their racial groups, social groups or religious groups.
