18. excuse me. i see a misunderstanding here, and wish to repeat something

i read in Number23's original comment on this thread about this:

"WHY is this not national news??"

that is a crucially important question, and must be examined, without any doubt. i think it is one thing to reply with sensitive caring, that lgbts do care intensely, and that we do discuss and strategize endlessly on this very reality that lgbts of color still have to fight all the harder for recognition, rights, and mainstream recognition and compassion, and so on and on. it is another to reply defensively when the rightful criticism is of media in general, and not of lgbt media. after all, those not lgbt would not have immediate reason to know what is in lgbt media, except by someone such as yourself, or me, sharing that it is there, it is diligent, it is determined to shout about and change that indecent racist inequality both within and without our communities and world in general ....

thank you for posting, La Lioness Priyanka!
