I read your post again, Yumo, and I think you have a simplistic viewpoint when it comes down to it. The reality is that racism, as well as homophobia, does exist...the advantage I have as a white male is that I can conceal the fact that I am gay, (since I am not overtly flamboyant, only when I drink). Could I do the same if my skin color was the gauge of acceptibilty? When I first read this post, I, too, was unsure if I should respond...I felt this is too complex an issue to tackle on a web forum. Maybe I was right.
