I can only speak for Capital Pride in DC, but there were a ton of blacks and Hispanics there.

I don't know about the black community, but the Hispanic and Asian community appear to be less accomodating of 'unusual' relationships.

Oh man, I strongly disagree. I see extreme homophobia in the black community. Actually, you can use the results of Prop. 8 in California as a proxy. The exit polls showed the following:
Prop. 8 - "Eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry"

Whites: 51% no, 49% yes
Asians: 51% no, 49% yes
Latinos: 47% no, 53% yes
Blacks: 30% no, 70% yes

No, it makes us suspect this person is not new at all, just a previously banned poster. Happens all the time, they're not fooling anyone.
