I'ma be honest, I'm not too sure who you're directing at anymore. Gazi Kodzo is troll trash, you know this, I know this, we all know this. You shouldn't take anything he says at face value, he does it to get a rise out of people and he's hardly a spokesperson for blacks or LGBTs.

Try being a black gay male for a day, you'll face opposition and be ostracized from every angle: Black people hate you, gay people hate you....and the kicker and most ironic: black gay men hate and avoid each other due to self-loathing caused by the two minority groups they belong to. Being a double minority truly sucks because you virtually fit in NOWHERE. I've tried to be strong for so long but I'm losing my will to live. I'm tired of being alone all the time, I'm tired of people hating me for no reason.

Wait, the tea in this paragraph. I feel you sis, I've felt the same way many times (and still do at times). But don't let them get the best of you. Not all gays will hate you for your skin, and not all blacks will hate you for being gay. Keep your head up and take pride in being someone who can cross cultural boundaries, in being someone who can live and experience multiple sides of the coin and still come out a better person because of it. We can't change the circumstances we were born into, but we can learn and grow from them and we can become more empathetic people because of it. Just keep believing that our day in the sun will come. Remember, they can only win if you let them. Don't give them the satisfaction.
