29. The article the lady wrote is still bullshit
She had "other priorities" - to cite her example, the unbalanced ratio of black to white drivers that get pulled over. Yes, that's a problem. However, was there a "don't pull black people over?" measure on the California ballot? Honest question since I don't know, but I'm going to wager that there wasn't.

Next she makes the argument that supporting gay rihts diminishes support for black rights. That's just idiotic, yet it's what the author being cited says.

She then goes on to engage in some sort of knee-jerk populism, blaming ll the rich white gay people for being rich and white and gay and thus getting no support from blacks, because I guess in her world, black people can't stand rich people, white people, or gay people, much less all three in one place (nevermind that they certainly aren't all rich, there's plenty of gay people of all races, and... Okay, got me on the gay part I guess).

Basically her entire article is "I didn't support equal rights for gays (even though she did before she didn't) because there were more important issues (actually there weren't) and support for gay marriage undermines support for other minorty rights (bullshit) and it's all the fault of rich white gay elitists anyway (yeah sure it is).
