Race & Homosexuality

This kinda started out in the other thread, but this is more appropiate.

I'm sure many have noticed that the dominant figure in the gay community is people of white skin.

But what about blacks? Or Hispanics? Or Arabs? Or Asians?

I think it has to do with a huge cultural difference that allows white people more "room" to come out while those of other races are literally suffocated into the closet do to their culture.

Anyone have thoughts?

I think it's because other races despise homosexuality

Strangely in Iran under Sharia law homosexual male sex carries the death penalty, lesbians receive lashings but gender reassignment surgery for transgender people is condoned by the Shiite clergy.

In Jamaica, homosexuality is so despised it's almost a crime

It's interesting though, I read that Iran has the highest sex change rate of any country, because when men realize that they are gay and can't hide it, they just get a sex change since the punishment isn't as great.

Islamic states mostly have death penalty for homosexuality - and most of those states are in asia or middle east.

Also, China had really strict rules on homosexuality - im not sure if it was punishable by death, but it was an arrestable offense.

While in the west, people are extreamly prejudice, homosexuality has been mostly made legal.

The state should give attention to more important things, than people sexuality.

I agree. I think its this sense of ''moral policing'' that prevails in highly religious countries.

As for China, ''The Party'' was in a sense a religion.

China should be happy with gays... Less children, the bastards should stop complaining...

LOL!

But, as long as they do, there will be a large population of little asian babies for happy homo couples to adopt.

I think most people do regardless of race.

That too

All I know is that there is this gay black gangster in HBO's, The Wire, and he is the most bad ass villian on television.

I am a huge fan of this show. Also, their is a lesbian half Asian half Black cop. I liked how McNulty tried to hit on her, and once he realized she was impossible to get, he moved on and saw her as a fellow cop and friend rather than some sexual conquest. Plus, they didn't make it a main story line, it was just something that happened and life just went on.

Though the show is fictional, it's gotta be tightly based on realism in the streets of Baltimore. Seriously, watch this show, and you'll see that you can't just make this stuff up.
