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

Sri Lanka has nothing to do with her tweet so why bring it up

One is a civil rights issue, and the other is an issue over abuse of power and racism within the police force. Not comparable, srry.

Both are civil rights issues.
Wrong again.

As if civil rights and issues over abuse of power and racism have NOTHING to do with each other.

This is so embarrassing.

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.

Rick Jones, 22, was closing up the family restaurant on 25 April when someone grabbed him, and slammed his head against a wall.

He passed out but when he woke up he found: ‘Someone was on my chest and legs, and they were trying to force me to drink bleach.’

Later that evening his sister found him in the restaurant, unconscious with a concussion and the words ‘die’ and ‘fag’ carved into his arms.

There's nothing wrong with what she said, stop making an issue out of everything

His skin is clearly white, so this doesn't hurt him

Are there not black gays? You sound rediculous.

Couldn't she just congratulate the black gays instead of comparing two subjects that have nothing to do with each other? the only ridiculous thing here are the self hating gays

I didn't. Another user did and I concurred that it's an impoverished location with bad laws for LGBT people.

Telling one racial group to "stop" doing anything is discrimination. Racist bigot.

I guess I should apologize to the white people... who are never told to stop doing anything.

Meanwhile, people of my race can't walk into a store without being followed.

I don't feel sorry for you or your race, child.

I love how y'all are ignoring the fact that "BLACK GAY MEN" have it harder than everyone else. We're a double minority. White gays have a easier time in society than us and its the truth and I don't need anyone to deny it if you havent lived it. We face oppression not only within our community but outside of it as well. White gays are still "White". Gay is not a registered minority. Yes we are a minority group as far as sexual orientations are concerned but on paper a white gay is a white man.

Theres nothing wrong with what she said y'all are just looking for an excuse to bring somebody down if she doesn't include y'all.

They are different issues that can and do overlap because there are people in this world known as BLACK GAYS who unfortunately have to deal with both of these things.

Can people stop pretending black gays don't have it worse than whites? They do

And can people also stop pretending white gays never face hate crimes? They do

Thank you, and have a blessed equality day!

Who's self-hating?

Those who actually understand her tweet?

No, some of you are just stupid.

What is so difficult about the concept of gay marriage intersecting with the experience of black Americans?

Y'all, you CAN be both black and gay and be happy about marriage equality while not being happy about the other **** going on, WHAT are you guys doing?

It's not like she's saying marriage equality is invalid or worthless because of the current and past racial situations, she's just saying that there's still a huge problem. Like.

She wasn't "comparing" anything!

Closing because this is already a mess and will only get bigger - and some of y'all are REALLY showing your asses here. We don't need to do this.
