I don't know how you got that out of the responses but hey, it's your right to feel like a 2nd or 3rd class person. It certainly is not because of anybody here. I'm just pointing out certain realities-namely that the gay community is kind of obsessed with their own cause and don't necessarily care about our cause. I was at the gay pride parade in our town tonight and not one person there was from an immigration group. They had every possible gay group there too from churches to businesses.

Since you're part of both communities, maybe you can tell them about us. There is nothing we can do for them really at this point since they won their war - although I'm sure they have a few small battles here or there coming up.
