Trying to not draw attention to themselves, if my understanding of human nature in general is any indication.
Of course, there were some exceptions: The guy having a smoke with MLK in the top picture? That’s Bayard Rustin. He was a crucial adviser for MLK in the early days, and even convinced him in the earliest days of the Montgomery Bus Boycott to not keep a pistol around for self-defense. In 1963, he planned the March on Washington. He was also gay, having been arrested in 1953 for having sex with another man in a parked car. At the time, he was candid about his homosexuality within his own private circles, but as far as the public was concerned, he stayed in the closet until the Eighties, when there was at least a chance he could get away with it., and became as passionate an advocate for gay rights as he was for black civil rights. The year before he died, he even gave a speech called, and I 𝐐𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞, “The New N——rs are Gays.” The guy with MLK in the other photo? James Baldwin. You ever see the movies I am Not Your Negro or If Beale Street Could Speak? Or read Go Tell It On The Mountain or Waiting to Meet The Man or Fire Next Time? That’s him. He was also gay. His second novel, written after Mountain, was Giovanni’s Room, the story of a man having an affair with another man. In contrast to his previous work, his publisher told him to “burn it.” As a rule, the works that focus more on homosexuality have historically gotten a lot less interest than the ones about race, but with the mainstreaming of gay culture, that’s started to change. But, okay, maybe they were outliers. Fact is, even by the standard you’ve set up, you’re still not off the hook. You’ve probably heard about the border camps, which basically amount to concentration camps for Hispanic immigrants. These are places where children are separated from their parents; places where, if You tell a guard you want water, they’ll ask you to drink out of the toilet; places where people are crammed into cramped cells with dozens of other people. Since you’re willing to hold gay people as a whole to that high standard, it only makes sense to ask: where the fuck you were when you heard the news? What you did to help fight for their human rights? Or is it all self serving to you? If the answer to that last question is yes, well, I can at least understand wheee you’re coming from, but to hold other people to a higher standard than yourself, well, there’s a word for that: hyporcisy. And since you’re a Christian, I would also like to close with a little scripture that I find extremely relevant: “But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.” Matthew 23:3b-4. Why, yes, I am comparing you with the Pharisees.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

And i'll also point out your fallacy that because oppressed group A doesn't join up with oppressed group B doesn't mean A is not oppressed (August 4, 2020 at 6:36 pm)Rev.
