This cartoon captures one of the main reasons why there is some fury among some blacks in the heterosexual community when gays and lesbians attempt to parallel gay rights with the civil rights movement. There are so many blog discussions about this online so there's no need to rehash all of them here.
I do not believe that those issues will be resolved any time soon, and I am not sure that the gay and lesbian community is relying on the heterosexual black support with their legislative objectives.
If they decide that they need the heterosexual black support base then the issues have to be resolved about WHY gay rights issues are not viewed by many black heterosexuals as parallel to the civil rights movement.
