Long ago on the continent of Idiomerica, there lived a cruel king who stole and enslaved an entire nation of Gay people. He brutally beat them and stripped them of their human dignity and God-given rights and forced them to slave and toil, and he beat their men and raped their men, and made their women to perform acts of sexual pleasure with the men of his armies. Sound ridiculous? Well consider the current mainstream claim that Gay rights are equivalent to Black rights.

Equating rights for Blacks with rights for Gays can never be done, logically; maybe technically, but never logically without a dark vapor of condescending racism permeating from the principles of the one who equates the two. And for the Blacks who endorse this analogy, it is not without an allusion of self-hatred. But let us break this down one interest group at a time.

Gays have misplaced themselves as victims of discrimination under the principles of Civil Rights thus equating their struggle with that of Black-America, which attempt is chaotically pathetic. This says that they have no realistic means by which to justify their life choice. They cannot justify themselves separately because their struggle is not a struggle against human oppression but against life-choice oppression.

Blacks, women, and other racial-ethnic groups of people have faced discrimination of the worst kind, that of discrimination as humans to have rights to be whom they are, not what they practice. Religion itself is questionable as a natural right but one of personal choice. And so is freedom of opportunity to education, housing, voting, immigration, and even criminal activity, which are all beneath the umbrella of Civil Rights and are all practices and choices of personal lifestyle.

Speaking of choice, it has yet to be scientifically proven that homosexuals are "born" homosexuals thus punching a hole in the argument that homosexuals are victims of discrimination just like Blacks were victims of discrimination therefore requiring laws to free them. And since Western science trust more in science than in common sense and reason, should not the leading advocates of Gay rights await this scientific decision? What's a double life sentence under the realm of Western logic?

If the argument comes from the depths of natural law whereas Gays claim that if natural law has anything to do with human rights then their point should be considered because they were " by nature" born gay, this also is flawed. Flawed because within the realm of natural law comes the basic instinct of reason and common sense.

Common sense says that once a person opens their eyes and sees a male and female standing with a child beneath them, then nature works for a specific reason. Now if the laws of nature support common sense and from common sense, come the traditional union of male and female, which brings forth the family, then any other arrangement other than that would be, by nature, null and void.

Man can ignore the reality of common sense to enforce their own laws but that does not make those laws a part of nature. If one believes that the right for a man and a man - or woman and woman - to be joined and recognized as a union of nature should be accepted by all as natural, this request is one of absolute non-sense (no pun intended). But if they simply want to be acknowledged by the laws of man so be it. The cosmos will not lose sync.

But be it unto the logic and philosophy of Western thought to defy all that is universal to fulfill a self-centered agenda. By nature we are all human-beings and by nature there are many different shades of people. We all think and breathe, we all feel and love and we were all birthed from the union of a male and a female. However, not all of us were born with the abnormal desires for the opposite sex.

Blacks should not have fallen under the laws of Civil Rights, but human rights. All others go under Civil. For anyone to mistake the two says they have little regard for human life. Life is not about politics, it s about survival. Politics placed Blacks under the laws of Civil Rights, Blacks did not choose this position but it was given to us, just like the position of slavery and inequality.

Blacks were oppressed because of the greediness of white supremacist not because of a lifestyle they chose. Blacks did not ask to come to America. Gays are not asked to be gay nor are they forced to be, they are freely. If Blacks had chosen to be Black, from behind the eyes of whites this would mean they would have chosen to be slaves because whites have and probably always feel and believe that Blacks should be slaves or at least beneath them.

Black rights and Gay rights can never be equated because even though Blacks were born Black they did not chose slavery and oppression, so if Gays were born gay, they were never forced to be or do anything against their God-given will. Any and all Blacks (and Black leaders who support this view) have a deep hatred for their own selves. They live and breathe the U.S. Constitution and have no knowledge of what is actually real, or of who they are.

Self-hatred begins with denying who you are and ends with confusion of the same. This leads to a confusion of life in itself and who everyone else is. This further leads to a denial of reality within the laws of nature. Afterward, anything goes. If no Black leader will stand to refute this ridiculous analogy this means that we as Blacks in America are on a downhill drop even further to the bottom of the social food chain. Do not support Black leaders who endorse this theory, for they have no identity.
