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...
Ok, anecdotes.
Also, doesnt explain the whole "black folks didnt make the anti gay laws" thing. Thats all white america. If you are gonna talk about blatant homophobia, why not talk about the people who literally made gay existence in this country illegal? Did black people do that?? No.
