She probably grew up in an anti-gay environment

At least a congrats or lovewins tweet would've been cute

She was born and raised in the UK!!! A country which recognised gay marriage before the Us... Have several seats u ignorant navy member!!!!!

She has a point. It's not a terrible thing to point out that we can celebrate one social victory while still being mindful that there is progress to be made.

K. You're kind of totally ignoring hate crimes against all LGBT people. I get your point though.

MIA is way less of a mess than anyone in this thread. It must be a confusing time for black gays tbh.

When people talk about the struggles of black people it's never from a black queer perspective.

They are both issues that affect BLACK GAYS. She's not speaking against gay marriage or pitting one against the other. She makes perfect sense.

This is about legalizing marriage and that is it.

The race relation issue in the U.S. should not be undermined but to equate the two is kind of useless.
It's already illegal to kill and commit a hate crime. At the moment race issues really concern prejudice of citizens (minus police altercations) than any legal verdict a goverment could make.

Her pitstain smelling ass needa go somewhere and settle for some Mickey D's fries instead of those truffle joints while she pays off the NFL.

I think she's trying to say if you were black and gay you would have conflicting emotions because both something terrible and great is happening at the same time.

This. She's celebrating the ruling (though it sounds like she's not) - she's just going head first into another issue in need of attention it seems.

[Superpower]

There's nothing wrong with her tweet

[CakeLike]

I hate it it when people try to give a different opinion on things to sound edgy, its just so try hard

[mdnazn]

white gay men don't face any struggle.
the fact that they think being denied some cute cake at some random bakery is some sort of cruel abhorrent oppression.

What do u guys want?? Want her to dress in a rainbow flag and parade through the streets?? Its not even her country. She is from the UK, and all u ignorant are quick to label her as anti gay mostly because of her skin. She didn't grow up in Sri Lankaand neither does she like Sri Lanka coz her kind is treated like the Jews during the Nazi time

No, her tweet is about the legalization of gay marriage AND the racial occurrences going on in America - both massive trending topics in the US.

It's not useless, and the fact that some of you deny or can't see the parallel is quite ridiculous. Her tweet was HARMLESS and quite understandable if ATRL gays or just gays in general would take the time to recognize. Not everyone has to just accept any and everything for what it is or take the politically correct approach, and it's not unusual for two trending topics to be compared.

I commend M.I.A. for having a real and articulated opinion. Go girl!

What does her country's stance on LGBT have ANYTHING to do with her personal stance?!

You can't be serious? The same reason any one from any country tends to reflect the ideologies taught to them by said country?

I'm not saying her personally. I'm saying Sri Lanka is an impoverished, undeveloped country. Therefore, don't act so aghast when people say that. Does it offend you when people say there is 100c in $1, or are you selective in what facts trigger you?

Are you Sri Lankan? I don't think so, based on your wording (her country's stance). So I'm curious as to why you would be defending somewhere with this track record

No, it's not.

Of course if you're black AND gay, you're going to feel some type of way about both of these occurrences. That's all that is being said here. There is NO comparison!

Y'all are a bunch of dramatic queens. Forreal.

And where is this scream for attention coming from?

[Cupcake.]

She's trying to make gay marriage seem about black people You people defending her are the same people who complain about white people trying to make #BlackLivesMatter about whites
