What is with gays and their feeling of entitlement?

Again
If the point is to gain equal rights

And playing a victim hasn't gained that for you

Then that paragraph did nothing more than prove my point

Yes other people brought up that point, so you're going to run with it because....

I mean I'm guessing your intelligent enough to know that you don't have to tit for tat or run with the crowd to make a point

As for MLK, he marched for civil rights not monogamy, what he did in his marriage will never negate what he did for that masses, no more than any gay rights activist. And I'm sure if I looked I could find a few that don't have a perfect image when it comes to their family and loved ones. We're talking about humans not some deity, so stop the silliness

The reason those who play victim aren't championed is because victims dont do shit that's worth remembering therefore they never accomplish anything on the scale that actual leaders do. And this crosses racial boundaries, and sexual preferences. People like the person who engages and inspires action, not the one who constantly compares himself to somebody else

You can keep comparing victim wounds all day but Again this is why people stop listening, which what you want people to do in the first place.

The fact is gays deserve rights period, regardless of what blacks/jews/ or anybody else went through or accomplished

Your struggle is your struggle, as a gay male, no one knows it more than you.

But trying to 'one up' by comparing it to some else's , makes it look more of game than anything else, which only fuels misconceptions

again, i didn't try to one up anyone's plight.. i was just stating the facts that just so happen to blow any of these "i can't stand when they try to compare their struggle to what we went through" pity party types clean out of the water.. it's not my concern if those points of sensitivity rub you or anyone else the wrong way because if it did, then that could mean yous exactly who i'm speaking to....

as for mlk, the case i was attempting to make was that to champion someone is a fallacy when their actions are common knowledge .. no ones perfect but if you're gonna get up & try to lead a people, you need to solidify your vibration because all of your actions are going to be tested for structural integrity flaws.. that shits the reason i wouldn't lend credibility to any politician or public figure with out checking it deeply first.. i found that i can only champion those who show a consistant pattern of refusing to sell out.... everyone can't know everything about a person but from the things i do know..... people like Petey Greene & Talib Kweli are what i consider true champions of the people.. ones who say what needs to be said despite it's abrasive nature because otherwise, folks catch amnesia..

you're dead on with this Haute, but this ain't just something gay folks do...minorities ALL do this "I had it worse than you" bullshit...hell just look at the reactions Rusty got before he even mentioned comparing gays and black folks...it was automatically "They don't have it as bad as us"...

What is w/ anybody and their sense of entitlement?

 

[Idi Amin Dada]

actually, whether or not that was their intended effect, the argument that we all as american citizens should under the constitution be afforded equal rights no matter our race, creed or color has a residual effect over the course of a generation or two to in fact do just that.. & as getting older has a tendency to do, the extremely hardline opinions one might hold dear tend to soften as the years pass by...

depending on the person of course..

Isn't that what I said though? When institutions change attitudes change with them.
