Is he racist? Am I homophobic?
I have always supported civil rights on so many levels. I marched in black lives matters, my family has been instrumental in the movement. I had the opportunity to meet Rosa Parks twice, Pete Seeger, john lewis and the like at Highlander Research and Education Center, a leading civil rights organization founded by my family. That is my background. I was talking to some friends and the question came up; am I homophobic for not wanting to go to a drag show? I see nothing wrong with them, I just do not care to do that. The racist question came about when our friend said he wouldn't date a girl who had dated (slept with) a black guy. We said that was racist. He said it wasn't it was a preference and he feels like that would bug him if he knew that and it would negatively affect his feelings for her. What do you folks say?
