I mean, black people have fought for equality for 200+ years and still get hunted down like dogs in the south, discriminated for doing anything while black.

LGBTQ have been openly fighting for what... 50 years? and that's being generous...

Do you think being gay is new?? People have ALWAYS been gay, people have ALWAYS been black. Both these fights go back to the dawn of time.

Apparently reading is not where your strengths lie.

I used the word "openly" for a reason in my last comment.

Anyway, your attempts to equivocate the struggle of black people to LGBTQ people is alarming. But at this point screw it. You see no difference and I don't have the emotional bandwidth to help you think more broadly than your narrow view, so imma take a mulligan on this one.

So you think gay people didn't want rights pre 1974? Or were they just really secretive about it? I remember how subtle Stonewall was. Or that whole holocaust situation in the 40's.

We have records of LGBT people arguing for their rights in antiquity.

You have no idea what you're talking about clearly.

sigh you're too blinded by your own bias to be able to see the forest for the trees.

Having a conversation with you is pointless.
