Yes it has been voted down 31 times, only one of those votes took place when a national majority was for it.
Where? I hope you're not banking on Maryland.

Washington. If not there, maybe Maryland, Maine, and/or Minnesota.

Remember Jim Crow?

It's all about discrimination, regardless of who gets dumped on.

GAYS have always had privilege....blacks have not- Let them endure a few hundred years of slavery- then they can join the club of the oppressed.

Perhaps he's referring more to the core struggles both blacks and gays have fought. Why is gay a behavior? Just as he was born with DNA to support his being black as was he born gay.

You may want to ask a few of your gay friends about that.

Yes, you do have gay friends.

hahahahahahahahahah

what, the privilege of not being able to get married? the privilege of being able to be fired for being gay in many states (while you can't fire someone for their race in any state)? the privilege of being able to be executed for your orientation in 9 different countries? Gays do NOT have 'privilege,' at least none that is tied to their orientation. I'd love to hear you say that to some of my gay friends.

ps: how many of you were killed in the holocaust compared to homosexuals?
