Reply #1: i know how you feel

[noiretextatique]

i saw some crap on craigslist w4w about "black people betraying us" and i didn't even bother responding. i don't know where the notion that people are FAR MORE homophobic than anyone else comes from, but it is pure bullshit. someone who did bother to respond to that idiotic post on craigslist reminded the poster that racism still exists in the LGBT community...one could call it a dirty little secret.
and, as i reminded another person here ranting about "the black community hating gays"...LGBT people are a part of the "black community."

i live in california, and i can tell you that the people i know are APPALLED by the passing of prop 8...and there is no way in hell that piece of bigotry will become law...no way. the court has already spoken: no discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or identity...period, paragraph, end of story.

when i was about 25, a million years ago, an older lesbian told me this:
being a lesbian means learning how to be alone. i had no idea what that meant at the time, but i sure as hell know what she meant now. being a black woman and a lesbian...i really understand what she meant.

don't let the fuckers get you down. and tell your aunt to give me a call...i like a challenge }(
