I don't see the similarity, at all. To be honest, I'm insulted that gay people compare the atrocities of slavery segregation and the holocaust, to not being able to get married. Got no problem with gay folks in general(what you do in your own homes is none of my business) but just don't think it's the same thing at all.
As a black man, i'm frankly insulted by

Not saying anything against gays, but I just can't comprehend the connection between the two.

Hmmm

Because they are the same thing. Or facets of the same evil: bigotry.

Both are in the same category. They are both being denied the freedom to chose what ever sexuality and race to mingle with respectively. Both cannot express themselve the way they chose. It's got nothing to do with being black or not. Even some black ppl are racist! Bottom line is ;whoever is racist or homophobic is ignorant.

Take this sh!it to the violent/disgusting section!

I'll settle with this.

Stop tripping. They are anything but in the same category, Dude.

Being a black man is a natural thing ordained by nature, while being gay is an anomaly(nature's mistake).

A lot of people agrees with me on that.

For example, Paula Deen was publicly humiliated for being a racist. Alec Baldwin on the other hand was ignored when he went off on an homophobic rant against a gay reporter. Those are clear examples that they are not the same.

It's okay to be homophobic because of religious reasons, but no one likes to be classified as a racist.

Yeah, they are both form of bigotry but that doesn't make them the same.

How will you feel when a sign by a restaurant door reads; Gays and Niggahs are not allowed.

While one form of bigotry can be justified in the sense that it's horrible, the other doesn't deserve it, period.

The other doesn't deserve it because you're not one right? What do you know about being gay?

I'm sure a pre-1950 heterosexual white would be glad to see such a sign on the restaurant door.

Go tell that to the KKK's. They're still proud of being racists.

That a lot of people agree with you on being homophobic doesn't make it right.

I'm not homophobic like I said before. I just don't see any similarity with being black and being gay, that's all.

In white dominated society like America, gays and other minority races are constantly pitted in the same category as if it's an anomaly not to be white, as it is an anomaly to be attracted to the same sex as you.

It is not the same! I refused to be classified with gays please, even if some fellow black fellas are okay with it.

@op, did u really want an answer to your question?

Being gay is not natural? Anything that nature supports is natural. So you need to rethink your idea of homosexuals being anti nature. The souls of all human is neither male nor female,so anyone can decide what ever sexuality they chose to express whether you like it or not.

You said " it is ok to be homophobic due to religion reasons". That is a sick idea,knowing that religion is the root of all evil. Why would you decide the fate of your fellow humans? You need to live yours!

There's a reason that nature created male and female in almost every specie, you know? Male and male can't reproduce and multiply so it ain't natural. It's against nature in every sense.

Almost every Religion are unified when it comes to how they view homosexualism. They are quick to recognise the fact that it's against what the nature intended.

So thus, people tends to detest them because of their religious beliefs. That's how "the religious reasons" came into play.

That's the whole point of all these, wasn't it?
