In reply to the discussion: "The level of hatred, unfounded fear and misinformed people was astoundingly sad." [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)34. I'm starting to finally get what they meant on the Tyra Banks show
about "gay is the new black." At first I didn't believe it, but now I see some truth in it. Much of what gays are going through is what black folks experienced back in the day, whether it's discrimination against employees, being banned from facilities, or being called derogatory names. Conservatives try to make it seem as if both cases are different, but it's all the same. It's discrimination against someone due to factors that they have no control over.
Like "Mudcat" Saunders was saying on the Stephanie Miller show this morning, I wish this issue would be solved so we can quit being divided by wedge issues. The G0Pee loves to use wedge issues to get ahead.

K&R&No Shit. Most of us have no idea what the reality America's tolerance of hatred means.

Not unlike the 3 Wolf Moon t-shirt, has no one thought that this is one helluva marketing scheme?
