Can we please stop with thw old tired "black people are homphobic, garbage??

One, its a over blown lie
uh no its not
definitely not a myth in the US

im black and gay myself
and conservatism as far as the church only plays PART of why there's so much disgust towards homosexuality in our communities
plenty of black parents don't want no gay kids because we're considered weak offspring by default since we ain't straight
its hard enough to raise straight kids in underprivileged black households, so lotta black parents think having gay kids is crazy hard mode...

and in some places they wouldn't be wrong about it being harder to raise and protect us in black communities with high rates of violence
because a ton of black folk are openly bigoted towards a bunch of us who don't fit the heteronormative status quo
im talkin straight up assault in the streets to send a message that us being gay, bi, whatever makes us freaks and somethin that shames our mamas
LGBTQ actually gotta HIGHER chances of being a victim in poor black communities, which is why a bunch of us get the fuck outta there first chance we get

it would be a lie to say all black folk are inherently homophobic and casually belligerent towards gay folk
but it's also a lie to say there hasn't been a noticeable amount of black folk for decades openly bigoted towards homosexuals

just fuckin ask gay black LGBTQ folk who had to grow up around that shit
ask how many of us fought to move away on our own because of it

Buttigieg ain't gettin black votes because he hasn't done anything serious to get our trust
he just looks like another privileged white dude playin politics even tho hes gay with a privileged partner to boot

but at the same time, he damn well not gettin any votes from black folk who straight up don't approve of gays and thats not a small number even today...
