Apparently, gay lives don't matter!

I was more than a little disheartened when I watched an interview of several highly intellectual leaders of several different African countries expressing their opinions of gay people,
A few sample comments from educated black men. "They are totally disgusting" " They are the antithesis of traditional family values, ( A frequent lie told in the USA) " We simply do not recognize them as part of our country's population" etc. etc.

Hatred of gays is on the rise in the USA especially by the so-called "Christian Nationalist" who want our rights to go the way of a woman choice.

I have heard a few blacks express they don't welcome "support" from guilt ridden liberal snowflakes", and similar other comments.

I may lean to the left and support social programs, I'm certainly not BLM out of guilt. It's the way I was brought up many decades ago. My mom and dad did not tolerate racism. PERIOD. I have ONE long time (Over a decade between SW and EP) black best friend here I know has my back with loyalty and emotional support.

I'm just hoping, many other black Americans will rise in defense of me and my fellow gays. We NEED to be accepted and enjoy the same rights others have. Thanks to those who have supported us all along, it means so much.

Well that’s very unfortunate. Why do you think anti gay is on the rise in The United States?

I’m surprised to hear that. Please tell
@gdon39 You may not like my answer, but I think Trumps cult of hatred has made hatred in general more acceptable, it's never gone away, just became more visible and people in general are tired and apathetic from so much trauma in recent years, they just want to ignore issues that are bothersome.

You have confused me. @Grateful4you do you think that I am human who does not share or reach out to help others? Do you think I support anything trump?

I am a person who has raised nearly 19,000 pounds of food in three years for the homeless and underprivileged in my community.

I love people and will do everything I can to help
@gdon39 I wasn't trying to personalize, I don't know you and I realize there are many MAGA folks who are part of the membership, thus, my disclaimer "You may not like...etc" Sorry if you thought I was trying to target you, you sound like one of the good guys. I will eat humble pie and apologise. Sorry I offended you.✌️🏽
@Grateful4you trump exposed the dirty underbelly of America and made them feel empowered to spew their venom.

Remember Trumpism is united by hate for the other

@Grateful4you we are all good my friend. Perhaps I was a bit jumpy and could have been more patient witch is weird bc I can’t possibly imagine a more patient person than I.

Anyway my guess is you and I support humanity
