Yeah man they knew to pick their battles in a time where black people were a legally distinct second class. They didn't bring gay issues into it because that wasnt the fight. Black gay men in the 60s were more worried about the fact it was illegal for them to sit at a counter as black people than their individual persecution for being gay. You have no excuse to not care about the persecution of individuals for being gay. Gtfo. This is the fight now, so shut the fuck up.

All your examples are people putting their personal convictions aside for the ultimate good, which you are not doing. People in 1820 who didn't pick up guns WERE okay with slavery.

You're doing the exact opposite of that guy, because you're saying stop fighting for the rights of your own people because my personal feelings about it are more important, you absolute nonce. Way to completely distort and misunderstand your own point.

That is an internet classic.
