FREEDOM IS A TWO WAY STREET - Gay vs. Chick-fil-A
I really think its ironic that the Gay community protests and boycotts people and businesses that don't agree with their lifestyle using the argument of FREEDOM of expression. It works both ways. Not everyone is going to support your lifestyle - and they have that right. We live in a country where the Klu Klux Klan and Black Panther Party alike are free to assemble to discuss their beliefs. They are within their rights to BELIEVE what they want as long as those beliefs don't result in illegal actions or infringe on my civil rights. I think its safe to say you won't find me at any Klu Klux Klan meetings. Chick-fil-A is free to believe what they want. They haven't banned Gay people from their restaurants and you don't have to support them. If you are gay you have the right to find another restaurant Popeyes. Bojangles, KFC.
THAT'S THE AMERICA WE LIVE IN.
THERE IS NO "CLOSET" FOR BLACK - Gay Rights is not Civil Rights
As for the gay rights mirroring civil rights movement, "No." Its not the same. Until there are separate gay water fountains - its not the same. Until LGBT men and women are lynched with their bodies randomly hanging from trees for whistling at a heterosexual (Emmett Till) - its not the same. Until LGBTs are expected to sit in the back of public transportation - its not the same. Until groups of gay people get water hoses and dogs turned on them by police - its not the same. The civil rights movement was about being discriminated against, killed, lynched, and enslaved - not about "accepting a sexual orientation". You can be gay behind closed doors and there is a proverbial "closet" for you to come out and "reveal" yourselves. Black people don't have the convenience of a closet or the choice to stay or come out - skin is their plight. There is no "closet" for Black.
You have the freedom to disagree with me.
THAT'S THE AMERICA WE LIVE IN
