"Tiny Trains"

Much like the "Leave" vote winning emboldened racist white Britons, the victory alone, not even his eventual policies, are going to be terrifying and dangerous immediately. Also every cop who just wants to gun down black people now knows the president himself has their back.

I dunno. They are the same kind of person that is all "YOu are pathetic if you unfriend someone on FB over politics." and I have been trying to not post something akin to what you said in this post cause I am just so loving pissed. The circle she runs is super loving anti-skeleton to the point they are racist.

Do we know the same group of idiots? I'm dealing with my now not really friend Amy who is that exact demographic doing that exact bullshit.

Let me tell you about log cabin republicans...

gay white men have been basically fine with most of white america for a long time and they straight up do not give a gently caress about the rest of the queer community except when the queer community can help them get something they want. they got marriage equality, so now it's straight back to voting republican so that they can get tax breaks on their "we're two white men" income.

I haven't talked about this a lot because as an lgbt person I know how divisive this can get, but holy poo poo. the majority of white gays truly want the perks of white supremacy (like other whites, see: this election where even white women voted for a sexual predator) and have just been angry that their sexual identity was the one thing keep them from this and after the SCOTUS decision felt super emboldened.

ask me about white white supremacy w/r/t lesbian dating because I have some loving STORIES!

edit (this is one of those edits that idk if I have to add or not, but I'd feel better including because yall are loving dumb, again see: Trump as president-elect): also I have only dated 2 trans people and don't consider them representative of transfolks as a whole so don't ask me about that.

2nd edit: didn't rwlize this was still the Negrotown thread, ask me here.

I am gay, friend. I'm constantly, unpleasantly aware of the racism and other animus in the community. My only question was whether the assertion that white gays went for trump in aggregate had polling data to support it.

What differentiates it from straight racism? Is it unique, or just an extension of mainstream racism?

For real, for loving real. I have never met an interracial queer couple in the entire time I've been out. It's like you can cross one boundary or the other, but not both.

I feel like the theory of white gay community voting majority trump would have more weight if it weren't for working class america being incredibly homophobic and dark lord pence, converter of the homos, being next in line if trump was impeached or dead, which has almost every gay person I know scared shitless right now

I already said, Log Cabin Republicans. They loving endorsed trump. They are rich white gay dudes who are insulated by their money and do not give a gently caress about anything but their taxes. They are completely insulated from any consequences of this election because they are rich (because they are two white dudes).

Oh yeah racism is just as bad in the gay community, and Ill never be able to understand the eldritch mental processes that makes someone see a gay asian twink and think "No. I do not like this". I just think pence scared the majority of them over to clinton.

My heart aches for what so many white people did last night. PoC tried to tell us white liberals how bad white supremacism was in this country, and we didn't listen.

I'm so, so sorry.

gently caress, what a terrible day.:smith: I am resolved to do what I can to help fight this bullshit over the next four years. I will do my very best to shut up and listen to people of color when they tell me what they need from me, instead of telling them what I think they should do. This has been a wakeup call for me. I hope it is for more white folks in this country, too.
