Alot of you on ATRL, and white gay men in general make no big deal at all about racism and brush it off often as people overreacting, infact some of the most racist men Ive ever met were gay white men  maybe I feel no solidarity with you guys.

I don't think this is about feeling solidarity with white gays. When someone says ******, they aren't talking about white gays they're talking about gays in general. In fact, this is a black straight man calling another black straight man a gay slur to insult him, it couldn't have less to do with white gays and their racism.
You are someone that has publicly identified themselves as both POC & LGBT on this forum, it shouldn't surprise you that people would find it unusual you would fight against racism but disregard homophobia to the point where you are defending people's "right" to be homophobic as if this conversation has anything to do with rights. Even if it did, wouldn't that mean that ATRLers have the "right" to call him out for what they consider to be unacceptable behavior?
