Other Minorities and the LGBT community

Okay, so I found out today that this: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/05/14/michigan-same-sex-marriage-black-ministers/9094721/ is a thing.

*sighs* Okay, where do I begin?

Let's just start off by saying this: If you are classified as a minority, that's it, you're already legless when you try to speak out against any other minority. If you are a black person in any country other than Africa, especially if you're a black person in either the USA or Britain, the last thing you have any right to speak out against is another minority gaining the same privileges you have. It's baffling that such a thing could even occur. Until the late 60's it was illegal in some states for black and white people to marry. That sound familiar at all?

Secondly, if you are a woman, again, you have no right to speak out against other minorities. You yourselves at one point in history and in certain countries today, have been and are regarded as "lesser" or even "sub-human". You weren't allowed to vote, own property, or any of those sorts of things. Do you think we should suddenly go back to those ideologies? Hmm? Didn't think so.

I could go on, but I'll get straight to the point of this - If you belong to some form of minority, be it based on sex, race, creed, sexual orientation, gender identification, having ginger hair, whatever, you should not be rallying against one another. You should be embracing the diversity of one another that you yourselves represent.

And the fact that a straight, white, cisgendered man is having to say all of this, that really speaks volumes.
