I agree, people keep splitting into groups... Maybe I am saying this cuz I am from Europe, but yeah, I don't understand it...

I don't see how that can help gender equality, race equality and so on..

[Opacho]

This is so stupid and so primitive, it's actually rather mind-baffling. You can't copyright the way you speak. You can't copyright a hairstyle. Try to sue someone for the way they dress/speak/wear their hair. Just try it. This is just so stupid and petty. Everyone has the right to act, dress, speak, walk, etc... they way they want to. If it feels good to you, ****ing wear it. Are you comfortable with that hairstyle? Does it look pretty on you? Does it bring your confidence up? Wear that! I have never in my life told anyone how to act or dress. If they're comfortable with themselves and how they behave I applaud them. No matter the race. The fact that minorities are now trying to oppress minorities is just so idiotic to the point it actually makes me sick. Some people can't help it. It's like telling feminine gays to stop acting feminine. Pathetic. This segregation process needs to stop because it's so counterproductive. No one really wants equality, it's all about 'getting back at them'.

Shut up. The fact that you white homos can't even spot sarcasm and want to be accepted SOOOO badly is just laughable.

Lol @ "whatever we have left." So, you're implying that the article is correct and that y'all took/stole everything from us?

You are so irritating lol.

Anywho, i don't know why the group all gay people & black women together. I know i'm nothing like the majority of miserable homo's on here.

Black women as well as gay icons in general are "mimicked" because the community is inspired by them. A stereotypical black women/gay icons is/are strong-minded and charismatic. People who are suppressed (such as gays) are inspired by these archetypes and have the motivation to be brave from them. Also, when you're gay, the male/white privilege is pretty much voided if you're out.
TLDR: Chill out. It's meant to be a compliment.

I agree with the first part i find it dumb that they want gay males to stop acting in a certain way. But you still have white male privilege being gay youre still almost everybody first choice to date. Youre also basically the default face of the gay community now i could go on but you get it.

I agree Gayz keep on appropriating black culture! They need to stop being ignorant!

They keep talking about appropriation yet they appropriate black culture themselvez!

Your ignorance makes me sad.The worst thing is that you're probably not aware of how dumb you sound.
Why do you feel entitled to insult people like that?What makes you think you are better than others???
Why you have to talk about "white gays"?Aren't we supposed to be one big community?Aren't we fighting for the same thing?Don't we all come from the same place?
People like you are the problem...What a shame...

Don't they have more important things to deal with than a couple of white gay boys saying 'yass'? Kinda sad.

you mean the broken families, high drop out rates, lowest income and highest crime rate issues among black culture? nah none of that matters but don't you DARE say "oh hell naw!" that is where they draw the line.

I just want to pin point one thing, most if not all of 'gay vernacular' originates from 30s ball culture. An underground gay club pageant circuit that allowed people to embrace their sexuality and gender identity in a safe setting during a time where it was outlawed. So a lot of the time that people speaking on behalf of 'black woman's' language saying that the gays are appropriating it ..it was actually appropriated by black women who included it into their own vernacular because of the intersect of gay culture and 'beauty parlour culture'.

This is not even acknowledging the shift to this day where black women on every reality tv show now come equipped with a gay whose language they adopt. But I don't see anyone on that side getting clocked everytime a woman on screen comes dripping in drag. Which is .. interesting.

But then again people love shaping their identity around playing the victim.

"you mean the broken families, high drop out rates, lowest income and highest crime rate issues among black culture?" In what way is this black culture or black peoples faults and if you would do a few clicks in the search bar you would see reasons for these things.

[wanderlust]

oh gosh all this tumblr "appropriating" ******** needs to STOP. everyone can use whatever they want, the very act of NOT using it because it comes from black people is racist itself. STOP seeing black people as victims (or gay people, actually.)

Amen. it's not necessary! You like dudes. That's fine. But I'm not sure why you gave to forget you are one too.

[Skywalker]

Although I will say it is very interesting to me that the further left and aware we are getting as a society, the more right-wing and authoritarian we become by making the world exclusive and shun or attack those that breach that. Just a food for thought.

Embarrassing on their part

Well in this case AAVE does exist( totally outside of this issue btw) and does belong to a certain group of people due to certain reasons. Dialects do not equal languages.
