Ladies, gentlemen, variations thereof, and neither, I faced a dread conflict in the core of my very being. I'm sure many of you have felt it as well.

Lesbian or Brown?According to the National Organization for Marriage, the African-American, Latino, Asian, and other communities offer less support to gay rights than white communities do. There is absolutely no reason to suppose that they are lying. In fact, you may have heard of NOM's classy, completely non-mercenary tactic to use racial identity to inflame anti-gay emotions in non-white communities. If you haven't, welcome out of your cave.
