Has the Democratic Party been advocating anti-gay laws at the national level, such as a law that would make it illegal to mention homosexuality in public?
Do Democratic-run news services refuse to report any positive or even neutral news about gay people?
Do Democratic-run police forces refuse to stop anti-gay violence (and sometimes join in)?
No?
Then the parallel you're attempting to draw is -- not surprisingly -- just so much mendacious BS.

Seems we have some anti-gay sentiment in this country resulting in a growing number of physical assaults in NYC, of all places.
Perhaps these are right wing Christian types doing the beating on vacation in NYC, but I suspect they are minorities. Perhaps if Obama had a son, he'd look like some of these assailants.
Again, I repeat, if Obama cared so much about Gay rights, why hasn't he directed Holder to look into these apparent hate crimes?
The interesting thing is, violence against gays has always been around, and the media does not report on it. Out of site, out of mind...therefore it doesn't exist, and therefore, this group is not oppressed, or/and worthy of consideration under hate crimes law. The phobes also don't allow the teaching of any tolerance in the school system, because of course, this teaches kids to be gay.
The media will discuss all day long that Oprah was not shown a 38K handbag in Switzerland, thus the sales clerk was ...gasp,.. a racist, but nothing about someone who was seriously beaten or killed by hate.

I'm not particularly pro gay causes, but I think everyone has a right to be safe, including gays. I don't really believe in the concept of hate crimes, as opposed to traditional crimes like assault and battery and murder, but they exist. Gays are clearly being targeted in NYC by black youths.

Where is Obama?
Hypocrite. You could care less about gays. As you said. Let's leave it there. You don't know that its black kids, you only suspect so. Get down off the high horse until you know something for certain.

The fact they aren't reporting race in these stories is actually very telling. And if you read the comments, they identify the perps as black utes.
Black utes targeting gay men. Two of Obama's core constituencies. I think the One should wade into this issue, at least if he cares about gay issues.

The OP is a hypocrite who is using hate crimes against Gays to thinly veil his own contempt for Obama and his racist views saying the perpetrators of these acts were black.
Gay bashing is nothing new and basically the cops don't care and turn the left cheek when it happens.
