It was supposed to be a time you're supposed to reflect on how our nation is, what we want to improve on, to think about what Dr. King fought for.

Yes, and I doubt very much that Dr. King had yall on his mind when he was fighting for civil rights. In fact many blacks are incensed that gays compare their ridiculous and disgusting antics to the black struggle for equality.

Add me to that list. A white male in this society is still privileged. No white gay guy was ever stopped from sitting in the front of the bus, swimming in the white pool, or applying to universities when there were still quotas or absolute exclusions for blacks and Jews. Dr. King and his followers did not march half naked, wearing dog collars, to make a point, the way the gays do. Most blacks find nothing similar about their civil rights issues and those that concern gays.

A few years ago I went to a campus minority job fair and was surprised to see a white, gay guy that I knew. He said he had every right to be there. I don't think so.
