That is why I take it so personally.
I take it personally because I had grandparents and my own parents who lived in a segregated Jim Crow South. Did I personally experience the degree of hardships they did, no. But I was definitely educated and understood what happened from their own personal experiences.
We can. Because they have been truly oppressed. Its not about Oppression Olympics and who is going to win. Its about defining your own cause on your own terms, and not trying to piggy-back on someone else.
I'll stop bringing it up when they stop using images of my heritage to push their agenda. Like I said, define your own agenda, use your own history in terms of the LGBTO community to help others understand why you are oppressed.

What images or black civil rights piggy-backing do you keep babbling about? You do know there black and Latino gays, right? Are black gays supposed to have a separate but equal "agenda" than white gays?
I love how wanting equal rights is an "agenda" to you.
