An overflow crowd jammed a Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations hearing on Tuesday night to level more complaints about racism and discrimination at white-owned gay bars in the Gayborhood.

Nearly 30 different speakers, most black or Latino, delivered passionate testimonials about experiencing racism in the form of dress code and ID policies, an air of "white privilege" and a bar owner who uses the n-word.

Even Mazzoni Center, one of the few health care providers specializing in LGBT health and wellness, was accused by a former employee for its lack of diversity.

The left eats itself.

Maybe things will get better when they’ve jailed all of themselves behind bars for these faux offenses, and the sane world can go back to operating normal again.

I am sitting here just wondering what the basic unit of “Victim” qualification will become and how and why does it take precedence and preference over all others.

What is that magic mix, or even that untainted basic homogeneous unit that compels above all others?

Just the hell is what that basic unit that tells each and every other faux-victim cede fealty to it? Who/what/how/ is that king of diversity superiority?

They could call it the “Pet Shop”

For boys in “Suburbia” that can’t pay their “Rent” with no “Opportunities” for “West end Girls”.

... experiencing racism in the form of dress code and ID policies, an air of "white privilege" and a bar owner who uses the n-word.

In my opinion, only the final item can be considered a straight-up "experience of racism," and even that has to be balanced against black people's use of "nigger" in popular conversation and media all the time.

You have to admit gays arguing over dress codes is kind of funny.

Discrimination because the club has a dress code and ID policies. Clubs usually ID because there’s alcohol served and they don’t want to lose their business serving alcohol to minors, and if they want to impose a dress code they can.

This discrimination nonsense has to stop.
