It kind of irks me when a group (it's not just black folks, Jews and other groups do it, too) act like they only give a shit of the persecution and injustice measures up to their own. As a threshold matter, gays have been persecuted, closeted and even killed across many societies and many centuries. That doesn't suffice as a struggle? Time to look at why any connection seems to offend you instead of looking for small-picture rationales that let you shout "BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME!"

Of course it's not the same, but is it similar?
