[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, And to those who dislike comparing marriage equality to the civil rights movement, please check out the July 2011 issue of black enterprise.  There was an enlightening article about black political leaders who support the gay rights equality on the exact same tenants and principles as black civil rights.  Why?  Because equality is equality.  [/quote]

I guess y'all just won't get that telling people how they should feel based on how some others in their culture feel doesn't work.

Should I tell a white woman who thinks that contraceptives should be covered under all health insurance plans to pick up a copy of Forbes magazine so she can read an article about a feminist leader from the 60s who's against mandatory coverage of contraceptives?

To be clear, I support same-sex marriage, but if you're trying to get people who don't support your cause to support it, saying "Hey! This black person agrees with me so you should too!" is ineffective. But if you don't care about actually effecting helpful change, keep right on...[/quote]

Maybe this doesn't resonate with you and others, but it does with some. You don't get to define a movement or someone's motivation. You, my dear, are not omnipotent. Entitled to your opinion? Yes, but you are not the sole source who speaks for everyone. Get over yourself. [/quote]
