Thanks for posting this video. I was just coming out of the closet in 1987 and I inadvertently walked right into the crowd not knowing that the event was taking place. I am so glad this was documented.

Hands as instruments of sexual misconduct, Texas is so insane.

DOULA:

"Being African American and Homosexual is not the same but there are

similarities between the oppression and hatred of each group."

>> Well, let's see.

White homosexuals were never exactly: hosed down by police, attacked by

police dogs, hanged from trees, taken in captivity and forced into slavery,

or denied employment or use of public facilities on account of skin color.

Worst of all, they were never collectively interested in racial harmony with

Africans either ("gay" or not).

With all due respect in terms of civil argument, Doula,

do you realize how DUMB you sound? Let me pose these questions to you:

Since there's a lot of people who commit suicide, do you also believe that

people were BORN to kill themselves? Do suicidal people have the word

"suicidal" or "kill me" (NATURALLY) marked on their skin the way their skin

color is? Are you suggesting then that rapists and molesters are BORN to

rape and molest? Let me know if you find some good answers to those.

It's amazing for those of us who were too young to be a part of this or to know about it at the time to be able to see this. It's imperative that we never forget our history!

What an absolute load of crap. African Americans are oppressed...homosexuals are oppressed. African Americans are born with their skin color...homosexuals are born with their sexuality. Being African American and Homosexual is not the same but there are similarities between the oppression and hatred of each group.

What's AMAZING, MB, is how people tend to think that Africans and homosexuals (which consists of ALL races -- Duhee!?!) have ANY common cause at all. They DON'T!!!

To be African DOES NOT EQUATE to being homosexual.

What's even more amazing is how racist homosexuals are in general.

It's amazing how 21 years later how sad that gay and black people no longer see common cause anymore.
