Let me break it down for you.

I, too, am pissed the fuck off about some of the racist bullshit (shame on you, Dan Savage) circulating around about how the record high turnout of black voters for Obama passed Prop 8 in California and how horribly homophobic they are

Really Dan Savage you fucking fuck? THANKS.

I just hit send on an email to him. I also emailed the Racialicious folks to get this cross-posted there.

I also think it's bold when LGBT people use the language of the civil rights movement, while also blaming POC for anti-gay legislation passing.

Bold AND old (news)!

This is all driving me crazy. Did you know there are no queers of color and no whites are homophobic? Apparently my extended family is no longer white!

&^%$#@!

[bias_cut]

Well clearly, all racial groups are monoliths!

This post is why I love you! Thank you!

[bias_cut]

Of course! People need to know the truth.

[mochasobsession]

Can I link to this on my Facebook? I know some folks who need to see it?

[bias_cut]

Sure can!

This is an excellent post. You are excellent.

Now to see if Mr. Savage has anything to say when he sees these facts.

I've been foaming at the mouth about ALL OF THIS and I can't really compose posts when I'm THIS UPSET. So I thank you and everyone else who have been writing about this and letting folks know shit is not acceptable. Thank you SO MUCH.

Yes. It is BEYOND enraging that people like Dan Savage are so quick to throw black folks and POC under the goddamn bus when it's convenient without giving an ounce of credit where credit is due.
