Either way,I never see it as a major obstacle.Seen worse hanging with cousins in SF and Miami even worse if youre black.

Ive seen white people come in from all over for Black gay Pride as well.

As i said before ,many cities have Black Gay Pride Celebrations.D.C.,Houston,L.A.,are just some cities with huige celebrations. Jero'S assumption that the presence of both Prides means there is racial strife is ridiculous.

I've never said the existence of both pride celebrations is indicative of racial strife at all. As a matter of fact, I made no reference at all about the existence of the two pride celebrations at all. I'm not sure where you came up with that assumption based on what I specified.

I said concisely that there is clearly a presence in Atlanta amongst the LGBTQ fold there is a lot of racial segregation on a social level and the existence of animus towards black LGBTQs being in predominately gay/bisexual friendly spaces to the point many blacks feel excluded or unwelcomed. The poster saying 'no urban gear' that was put up at the door of Joe's on Juniper in the summer of 2015 is proof there is still that problem here.

You're the one one that comes off as self-righteous and privileged. Your posting history practically screams it.

I feel sorry for every single person you come across in daily life that isn't exactly like you. I can only imagine how unpleasant you must be to deal with.

Uh yeah, you have no right to dictate others how handle harsh reality of racial issues when the obvious says otherwise in this city and nation as a whole.

I feel sorry for every single person you encounter on a daily that isn't like you as it seem there is clear presence of dismissive of opposing opinions...

Cry me a damn river.

You're the one with major societal issues here.

Well, that's the point. What does it mean to say somebody does or does not "look gay"?

Gay folks don't look different from anybody else. And they aren't different from anybody else.

For every rare instance of a Black pastor attempting to push an anti-LGBT agenda politically, 10-20 examples can be cited for White evangelical pastors.

The fact of the matter is that the type of political activism that is most common for Black pastors to engage in includes things like voting rights, fighting crime, job training, housing, etc.--the things that affect their parishioners and community members the most. Railing against LGBT rights is waaaaaaayyyy down on the list.

BINGO!these are the subjects I hear the most

Excuse me for incorrectly understanding your intent.However as you now put it,u are still wrong.
and Ive been to Joes and never felt any kind of way.Never had a problem.

There are signs at some upscale black clubs with the same signs.Now I dont know their intent but are there any lawsuits that you know of where blacks have been treated differently at Joes or other predominate white gay places?
Would that not be a better and more accurate way to tell if a racism problem exist rather than a sign addressing ones attire?

Neither one of you have a right to how anyone feels about the way regarding any ISSUES but you have given no concrete evidence to support your claim that Atlanta is worse off.
For every incident you say is evidenced by you,I and others have no evidence that makes this behavior unique to Atlanta.
So you have to accept that maybe what you see is not what others see,

Of course you did, by proxy.

Atlwarrior stated this is post #15:

"I do see homogeneity among certain communities and events. For instances there are two gay pride events: one that cater toward blacks and the other event for whites."

You immediately agreed, and stated this in post #16:

"Exactly! As a black bi male that is not originally from here. I call from residing elsewhere and having less problems interacting with LGBTQ individuals of various backgrounds, but this place is very racially segregated compared to elsewhere."

You obviously haven't lived in or even visited very many other large Metro areas if you honestly believe this ridiculous claim.

I said concisely that there is clearly a presence in Atlanta amongst the LGBTQ fold there is a lot of racial segregation on a social level and the existence of animus towards black LGBTQs being in predominately gay/bisexual friendly spaces to the point many blacks feel excluded or unwelcomed.

Thankfully you don't speak for anyone else in the community, as many have disagreed with you on these points. Again, your ill-informed anti-Atlanta agenda is showing.

The poster saying 'no urban gear' that was put up at the door of Joe's on Juniper in the summer of 2015 is proof there is still that problem here.

Get your facts straight. It was Blake's, on 10th Street - not Joe's. And feel free to sue them if you have this delusional need to prove something that doesn't exist.

You would probably be much happier elsewhere.

*Yawn*. You are funny because I will be happier when individuals like you are honest...

Homophobia is not a part of being woke.

You know, 0nyxStation, there are plenty of gay people here on C-D who often politely interact with you, even though every few months you decide to go on a spree of thinly-veiled homophobic posts. Consider the new year a time to reflect on whether harboring ill-will toward an entire random segment of the population is a good use of your time.
