Sure, if there are parallels that we can all learn from.  Why not?[/quote]

Not PP but I think it takes away from the original fight. For instance, there are LGBT people who do not believe racism is still alive or active today. Then the LGBT minorities begin to argue against racism and racial discrimination because of their experiences. The other side says the minorities are playing the race card and no one agrees. When people are fighting for two causes, one will take a backseat to another. You start to dedicate more time to one than the other, people start to question which is more important to them.

This is a good point.[/quote]

I disagree.  There may be LGBT people who don't believe racism is still alive or active today.  There may be straight people who feel the same way.  But I don't see why it's an either/or proposition.  In fact, I know it's not, because I'm championing both causes right now.[/wquote]

Because it still splits a community. While there are people who will do both, there are people who will hold a grudge of sorts towards another member of the community for overlooking or not apologizing for what they deemed a racial incident or an incident unfair to the disabled. For many, they cannot patch the hole, close the wound and move on to fight both sides. There is an article in the other thread of a recent LGBT race incident where the line was split. Will some of the people move on and go to the club again? Sure. But will they all? No. But everyone mentioned is still part of the LGBT community. Race and how you view discrimination vs. How Nancy Drew views it will always be a divider.  [/quote]
