Reply #149: They have it harder in some ways

[dsc]

Sorry, but it is factually true that on average gays are financially better off than blacks. No amount of yelling at me or calling me names is going to alter that simple fact. Conversely, blacks usually aren't faced with telling their family and friends they are black. Again, that is a factually true statement. That isn't to say it is better or worse to be one or the other. Since I am not black I can't say. For the record I know, well enough to ask this to, three black gays and they split 1 to 1 to 1 on the issue. One said being black was harder, one said being lesbian was, and one said he didn't know. Even if all three had agreed the sample size would have negated any use, but since they gave three different answers I have no earthly idea what the sample suggests.

If you either can't or won't read context in quotes I am unsure of how that is my fault. Maybe it is, but I fail to see how. Had people challenged me in the other direction I would have defended that way too. No one did. But again, I guess that is my fault as well since apparently nothing is the reader's fault.
