Let me spell it out for you:

Not defending something based on its own intrinsic value, and attempting to use other issues to validate what you're defending is bad. it's no no.


Also, everyone knows that there is a high incidence of homosexual discrimination within the black community, so for you to say that is just extremely insensitive.
