Today, I met a cute white guy at a local bar. In conversation he mentioned that he supports same sex marriages. I politely asked him if he was gay. He chuckled and said, "My mom supported the Civil Rights Movement. Do I look black to you?" MMT

I thought of this very thing earlier today. Glad to see that there's similar minds out there.

it's nice to know that not everyone is homophobic or racist. :)

That guy is awesome

:)

You definitely found a good one, hold onto him!

Respectfully, I fail to see what one has to do with the other.

Than your a fool

The OP irks me, only for the fact that she assumed he was gay because he supported gay rights. I have had this conversation so many times with people. I don't have to defend my sexual orientation just because I support gay rights. It's a human right, why does it matter if I'm straight?

true blood season 1 episode 1> if i am not mistaken

I agree, it really says a lot about how selfish people are that standing up for basic human rights is inconceivable if you don't belong to the discriminated group.

that's a great way to thimk about things.

Jamie P, the OP did not assume he was gay. If you read her post a little more carefully, you would see she said she 'asked politely' if he was. Doesn't mean she assumed it.

wait, i dont get it
