[quote=Anonymous]"Yes, there are similarities in the civil rights movement and the gay rights movement[b]. There are similarities in our struggle for equal rights and each group has historically dealt with discrimination, hate crimes, and intolerance. [/b]Blacks have been murdered for no reason other than the color of the skin. Gays and lesbians have been murdered for no reason other than loving someone of the same gender. Housing and employment has been denied to members of both groups.[b] There’s no denying that there are many similarities and while our struggle for equality can learn and be enriched by the history of the black civil rights movement we do an injustice by blurring the lines by saying “Gay is the new black.”[/b] Gay is not the new black.[size=18] Gay is gay and that alone is reason enough to pursue our fundamental rights without riding the back of another movement. [/size]The bigger picture in all this is that it’s not about civil rights for blacks or marriage equality for queers but human rights for all. [b]Whatever the minority group to which we belong all are human and are to be treated fairly and equally under the law and that’s there’s where I believe our focus would best to directed.[/b]"
