On the same subject, I found an editorial written by a gay black lesbian that I thought was interesting: <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-cannick8-2008nov08,0,3295255.story" target="_blank">http://www.latimes.com/news/op...55.story</a> Thoughts?

"Blacks" did not organize against same-sex marriage; various RELIGIOUS entities did. Let not the fact that most Mormons are white cause anyone to hurl insults at random white folk. Yes, non-whites are *generally* more opposed to same-sex relationships than are other groups. I'm sure there are myriad reasons for this, but it's beside the point here. Homosexuality occurs in all cultures & colors--thank goodness, it means I get to date some beautiful people! Uh. Where was I? The point is, the *N* word is always inappropriate--especially where a*h* would have been more appropriate.
