That Gay Thread

[The Architect Of Fate]

Now you did ask me about lbgt advocates and my question to you (which you never answered btw) was where were these white lbgt advocates when a white lbgt was essentially getting away with murduing two gay black men? They never said one word about Ed Buck, yet they have all the smoke for Dave Chappelle. Miss me with that.

First of all, these two events aren’t similar enough to be considered comparable, so I don’t know what you hope to achieve by doing so. On the one hand, we have a white man and LGBTQ donor on the hook for murdering two gay, black sexual partners, and on the other we have a prominent comedian publicly delegitimizing trans people at time when trans rights are being attacked all over the country. I’m not sure where you think the “gotcha” is. ?

But to answer your question: where were “they?” I don’t know, Huggy. Who is “they?” I know that over 100 protesters gathered at Ed Buck’s door step after law enforcement lagged on pressing charges. So, unless you did a personal background check on every protestor to verify that none of them were LGBTQ, or both black and LGBTQ, you’re pissing in the wind. But more broadly, when you say “they,” do you think the LGBTQ community is some kind of hive mind? Because that sounds exactly white people saying, in response to police killings of black men, “they don’t even care about black on black crime.” Is that the kind of mentality you’d like to employ?

Another question is why are gay people obligated to protest Ed Buck or anyone else. If Ed Buck was black and straight would straight blacks be obligated to protest? The answer is no. This is the same kind of bullshit racists use when they accuse black activists of ignoring black-on-black crime as a gotcha. No group is obligated to object or responsible for the worst among them. This is guilt by association and obligation by association.
