@BrokenQuill (I tried to quote you but it didn't work) - The sad thing is this seems really common. The LGBT "community" does alienate a lot of other identities as well as racial minority LGBT people.
The amount of white gay men I see who still don't realise how much of a dick they look when they right "no blacks, no Asians" across their dating site profiles, and use their little "preferences" to justify blocking minority gays from LGBT safe spaces. It's rampant.
Then these same people question why "LGBT black pride" is a thing...
I saw one guy a few weeks ago up in arms because BLM had "the audacity" to (briefly, not even all day) stop the Toronto Pride parade and make requests for more/better representation of trans and black LGBT people within gay spaces. This guy seriously thought that was such an unreasonable request.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
