The LBGTQ+ community in America is OVERWHELMINGLY white, in every community represented by each of those letters. That's not to say that being LBGTQ+ is some white people shit, but critiquing the racism in an overwhelmingly white community should be a given.

This is HUUUUGE fucking leap, that again does the white supremacist fuckshit of equating Black male thought with violence, and fuck anyone who does this.
Also, why is the focus solely on "cishet" BM?
BW arent critical of the gay community?
BW arent homophobic?
FOH

this is just scarybadblackman fearmongering in intersectional rainbow speak...which is to say white woman talk.

The rest of this thread is typical projection, stupidity and arm-chair psychology that you find in this type of bullshit.
