That Gay Thread

[LadyForCamus]

No shit, Huggy. Talk about stepping on my point like a rake and hitting yourself in the face with it. White people refer to the black community as if it’s some collective hive mind when they say “they” don’t care about X or Y, as a way to deflect from a legitimate issue, as if there are no black people who care about crime within their own communities while also caring about the very real problem of police brutality. The two problems are not mutually exclusive. You’re espousing a similar view of the LGBTQ community; blaming the entire community, as if they’re a collective consciousness, for what you assert is a lack of interest in one problem (violence against BPOC members of the community) in favor of another (delegitimization and dehumanization of trans people), as if individual members of that community can’t and/or don’t care about both. You sound just like a racist white person. 


Understandably.


GLAAD doesn’t include any BPOC? 


What is a “white LGBTQ advocacy group”? Educate me. 


And as I mentioned previously, there were over 100 protestors at Ed Buck’s house, including many white people from what I saw in the video, so unless you vetted everyone who showed up to express their rightful outrage and can prove none of them were also members of the LGBTQ community standing up for LGBTQ POC then you’re not only pissing in the wind, you’re making sweeping generalizations about members of a community in the same way that white people make sweeping generalizations about the black community. If you take issue with the individual leaders of a particular advocacy group that’s one thing, but this “they” business is just straight up lazy bigotry.

Let me try and make this simple to understand, IT WOULD BE WARRANTED TO POINT AT BLACK ON BLACK CRIME IF BLACK PEOPLE WEREN'T BEING BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.

It would? That’s interesting coming from a person of color. 

ED BUCK WAS NOT BEING BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR KILLING BLACK GAY MEN, SO IT'S WARRANTED TO CRITICIZE THE SILENCE OF WHITE LBGT ORGANIZATIONS.

And for the third time, you haven’t demonstrated that no white members of the LGBTQ community were included in the groups that were demanding justice for Ed Buck’s victims, so your grievance is void. That’s like me saying no black people care about crime in the black community because they only care about police brutality. How are you not getting this? And I’m still waiting for a list of “white LGBTQ organizations.” I didn’t know those were a thing. I’ll ask again; are there no BIPOC in GLAAD?

As I said, if you’d like to leverage a complaint against a particular group leader, then by all means, go ahead. But assigning a suspected motive to an entire community of people is bigotry, whether you like it or not. It’s exactly the same brand of crap we hear from white people about BLM.
