Note to Gay America: racist is the new skunk spray, NOT the new black.

I don't think that Obama's presidency is going to create new racists. I do think, though, that it's going to expose (perhaps dramatically) what racism is already lurking about.

I don't mean just the white southerners. I also mean black protestants deciding that queer folk are a religious issue rather than a civil rights issue. I also mean us queer folk exposing some of our own messed up ideas about blacks, hispanics, jews, catholics, and muslims.

It's all there. I can only hope that bringing it out to talk about it will help to eventually relinquish it.
