299. What a broad, sweeoping statement.
Mon Aug 17, 2015, 05:35 PM

"Most of my beloved "progressive" brethren just don't get what it is like to live a life as a second class citizen."

I'm sure met a representative sample of all the progressives in the country.

Look, you say you were closeted for many years. You just assume other white people aren't closeted? There's plenty of second-class citizenry to go around: gender, economic, religious, physical, and psychological problems can all be closeted, and just about everyone I know is stuggling with something they think they need to keep secret in order to get a job or stay in the good graces of family. You are making broad generalizations, not extending the very acceptance you have wanted during your own struggles. Remember that often the loudest voices are from minority populations - and by minority, I'm speaking about a small sample of the populace, not gender, race, or religion. This is especially true on the Internet.
