It is time to lay this bullshit to rest once and for all.

I am black and queer and agree with this analogy 100%

I am tired of coddling bigots. And that's what the fuck it is, it's bigotry, it's heterosexual supremecists not wanting dirty sinful faggots to "contaminate" the memory of The Struggle completely ignoring the fact we were all up in that shit and continue to be. BECAUSE WE ARE BLACK TOO.

Black straight people who are truly for the rights of their LGBT children understand the score and are not offended. The same tools that were erected and perfected against the black community are being used by the same people against the LGBT community. The same Bible used to justify anti-miscegenation laws, the same Bible used to justify slavery, the SAME. FUCKING. BIBLE.

Coretta was not offended, John Conyers is not offended, nor are any of the numerous black civil rights leaders who support full equality for their LGBT children. A BLACK GAY MAN MENTORED MLK for fuck's sake! It is the same movement BECAUSE WE WERE IN IT TOO.

Civil rights are civil rights are civil rights and FUCK any straight bigot who can't understand that, they are the same ones chasing the gays that run their choirs out of churches.
