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.

I’m African and I proudly support lgbtq because I understand that love is love!! That’s all it is and it’s not complicated to get that. It’s not a disease its not an illness so people should stop treating it like it is.
@TurtlePink Thank you hon, you said it perfectly! (((HUGS)))
