All this time I thought that, the reason for gay America’s refusal to focus on any other civil rights issue but gay marriage was because of their privilege.  But today, it’s clear to me that race and poverty aren’t of any real relevance to their movement because they’re too busy laughing at it.

I may not be supporting Senator Hillary Clinton for President, but there’s one thing I wholeheartedly agree with the Senator on, this is very personal for me.

That was the answer Senator Clinton gave to New Hampshire voter Marianne Pernold Young’s question, how do you do it?”

“It’s not easy, and I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do,” Clinton said.  “You know, this is very personal for me.  It’s not just political.  It’s not just public.  I see what’s happening, and we have to reverse it.”

And just like there are Blacks that embarrass me, as a Black lesbian woman, there are gays that do the same.

Knipp doesn’t make his living at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York.  You won’t see him on BET’s Comicview.  It’s not African-Americans that sell out his shows from city to city.  It’s white gay America that keeps Shirley Q. Liquor alive. 

From nightclubs to pride celebrations, Knipp is still around because the gay community continues to take plea
