31. To paraphrase: The bigotry I face is worse than that you face.
Therefore, I am deserving of full civil rights and you are not.

Does that sum it up?

Also, please stop saying that if gay whites "pass" for straight, that they will no longer have to face discrimination or harassment. That is ignorant and incorrect. Believe it or not, homophobic bigotry is not only directed at those that are gay, but also those that are perceived as being gay.

Apart from that, why should I have to lie about who I am, or marry someone I don't love and will never be attracted to, in order to be granted full rights by a government to whom I pay taxes just like you do?

Please, just stop. Your posts are hurting more than helping.
