Hi everyone,

I hope you had a pleasant Thursday. Mine was alright, just the same thing: teaching and going to the gym.

As the title says, I despise the LGBTQ movement. Before you comment, continue reading and you will see where I'm coming from.

As we are all aware, the LGBTQ is Eurocentric (doesn't matter its geographic location) and I don't see that shifting significantly in the coming decades, hell in my lifetime, in the West. Which brings me to my other point: back when I was unknown to the online hookups and dating, I thought LGBTQ semi-acceptance meant transcending and accepting racial differences. How naive was I? I realized, just like any social movements, LGBTQ puts at the front and center White and White looking of racial ambiguity (or close enough) voices. Look at the relationships or marriage rates between White men, Mestizo men vs. Black men. The gap is wide.

White and Mestizo men have the luxury to enjoy their wild or slutty phase, whereas for us, everything is compartmentalized: You know how many times I've seen Black men be flirty with each other, straight or otherwise, not necessarily flaming? I will say barely. As much as I'm not fond of DL men, I do understand where they are coming from. Imagine losing your family/social ties because of your sexual orientation. It is lonely. I wouldn't risk it, as someone partially out to some of my siblings and friends.

What will I gain? NOTHING

What will I lose? A LOT

I don't want dirty looks/negative assumptions (from Black people and other races) nor unwanted attention (especially from those who are unattractive in their racial groups), because I guarantee you that's the cost. We already have it bad with racist tropes from Eurocentric media.

Even if I was fully out, I wouldn't have anyone's back. Sometimes I wonder if a fully LGBTQ friendly society will necessarily benefit us, when we are an afterthought in its "politics". We can't talk about racial biases in our dating/hookup lives without White, Mestizo, sometimes Asians and Black men (unfortunately) reacting hostile and telling us we are playing victims.

It's unfortunate that many of us are oblivious to our small population size in general, let alone our gay and bisexual counterparts. Also, factor in distance between each of us: not everyone has the means to travel an hour, two or more to the other side.

Outside of the West, where most Black people live, especially the motherland (where I'm from), anti-LGBTQ laws are on steroids. So, forget about considering those places. We are confined to majority White and non-White countries, often hostile towards us. We have nowhere to go than carve our individual paths.
