TRiG.

Why gay people are always treated as if THE highest and most acute threat to anything is so INSANE.
Look at what such paranoia of gay people DOES to anyone’s sense.

America isn’t as gay friendly apparently, as other countries might be. Like Canada or perhaps somewhere in England. Gay Americans are still fighting battles no citizen should have to as well.
My heart goes out to those gay immigrants who are forced to consider staying illegally in America simply to stay alive.

This is still very different from the majority demographic of illegal immigrant that comes to America to abuse the birthright clause, and other issues more to do with economics and systemic deprivation. They are majorities in their respective countries who have the American model of fighting for economic and social justice. They have a lot more power to affect change by their sheer numbers and youthful vigor of their populations.

Indeed, the minority of gay people do affect change where they come from, and sometimes eventually WIN.
Which is why, my support of the international community of gays and lesbians who immigrate, and aren’t allowed to stay and don’t have the same legal options to do so as their straight counterparts.
It makes their lack of such treatment much more unfair, therefore more compassion is warranted.

And yes, I’m being consistent. There are some people who have been shocked or dismayed about my stance on illegal immigration.
And have gone so far as to call me racist and xenophobic. Which makes about a much sense as calling me homophobic.
There are more nuanced issues of ethics, triage as to whose needs are more urgent and how many our nation or localities can accommodate.
To not discuss the issue as if that’s not an important part of it, is to deny why this situation is so volatile and unhealthy to begin with.

I wish this poor man the best of luck. If not here in America, I hope another country will do for him what needs to be done.
