155. And, to be honest, I get offended by people who assume that
the struggle for GLBT rights is a WHITE struggle-- as if we're all privileged, white, middle class, men complaining about tax inequity. No one race or ethnicity has the market cornered on GLBT people. You see white gays, because there are more white people. You see rich gays on TV because poor gays are as invisible as all the other poor people in this country.

Gay issues ARE black issues because BLACK PEOPLE ARE GAY TOO. According to the NGLTF, 40% of hispanic lesbians have children. Don't you think that gay marriage is a poverty issue in those families?
