USMale is a Californian homo and former typical liberal, whose politics post 9/11 now stand somewhere just this side of Genghis Khan. In a nutshell, a Proud Kweer Gringo Kaffir… but a nice guy (and not too bad lookin’, either).
Gay politics is ruled by utter devotion to the Democrat Party and the notion of alliances with other oppressed groups. Especially blacks and women. PC about color is de rigueur. Blacks and Latinos seem unimpressed and not so willing to return the favor of their homo allies.
A bit of the ironic facts of life about Cal’s Prop 8, which banned gay marriage by constitutional amendment: “Proposition 8 would have failed in the Golden State if it were up to white voters, who opposed it by a 51-49 ratio. What carried it over the top was enormous support from black voters, with about 70 percent of them backing it. Hispanics also supported the ban by significant, though smaller, margins… In other words, Obama had some major un-progressive coattails. The tidal wave of black and Hispanic voters who came out to support Obama voted in enormous numbers against what most white liberals consider to be the foremost civil rights issue of the day.”
So next time PC gays and lesbians want to hate the Mormon bigots who stole their rights, remind them that it was people of color, Latinos for sure, but especially blacks, that they should hate. Then listen to the sound of the crickets chirping for a minute before all the excuses start.
