3. Loving v. Virginia is similar...

There are other similarities. But, there are differences to me, as a black woman. I assume these are differences a person who has to ask the question either wouldn't understand or wouldn't give a damn about the response anyway. So, an explanation would be pointless.

I especially sympathize with gay and lesbian folk of color. It would be tough to stomach people who "didn't" see any difference for very long. Especially when your rights are being denied in so many ways. Because of your heritage and because of who you love. Peace to those of you who feel you are in this struggle alone my sisters and brothers. I'm sorry.
