Dont know if this post is sarcastic but I really hope you didnt compare what AA went through vs LGBT community.

Blacks were looked at as less than nothing. Killed for trying to learn to read or looking at a white person the wrong way was only a small fraction of the idiotic reasons they were killed. The only thing on the same level was the holocaust. Not saying there arent terrible stories here also, but it's definitely not on that scale.
My family, mom and friends know about my affiliation and like of transexuals. It's all good, even introduced one to my mother before :) It's all in how you carry yourself in the situation.
Nope. What I'm saying is a little beyond what MLK did when he lump summed all of black America's plight into the coined phrase "civil rights". But maybe you will or have seen how this has come back to bite all of America...... but listen that is a saga for another site. Simply put black people's trials and tribulations in this country that are still on going today can't be compared to the LGBT communities on any level . I want to say for the same reason as it cannot be compared to the Holocaust I believe someone mentions that.
