The author brings out some really disturbing instances of our times.
Although it was not a famous incident, it really makes me question my
surroundings. She talks about a young black teen who was killed just because
she said she was a lesbian. African American people have faced severe
discrimination from everyone, and including other African Americans. African
American people were not known for practicing different sexualities. And when
they did, they faced serious resistance from both outsiders and insiders. A
Black man who did not approve of African Americans beings gays or lesbians
killed the young teen. LGBT was not meant for African Americans. Although a
perfect display of sexuality was considered a white straight male. Gays faced
harsh rules and were forced to stay out of it. Laws were made in a way, which wouldn’t
benefit gay couples, but straight couples.
