I don't think they get it rubbed in their faces in the papers as much as they should, but then again I don't think that black homophobes get their noses rubbed in it either.

I definitely agree with the hypocrisy of the black community making this seem worse than it is. There are a lot of black people who want to own exclusivity to oppression in America and it's a hindrance to fostering understanding among our community.
I guess I was more saying that when those places are called out it's more on an individual level but if you add it all up then you have to come to the conclusion that our country as a whole is very homophobic.
Not to mention this has been on the main stables of one of our political parties for the past 16 years or so. And that party is the whitest and richest party yet still somehow the stigma of homophobia remains firmly on the black people in this country.
All homophobia is disturbing but I just thought I'd add my two cents since some of it seems to go ignored IMO.
