Proposition 8 vs. Racism

I am usually one who refrains from commenting on the affairs of gays and lesbians. But Madonna, Pop songstress, and longtime supporter of this alternative lifestyle, made some rather asinine comments recently. She tried to somehow draw a parallel between the racism experienced by blacks, and the plight of gays and lesbians. Going so far as to state that if America could elect a black president, then gay marriage should be permitted in the state of California. Give me a fuckin' break! One thing has nothing to do with the other. Being gay hasn't prevented Richard Simmons or Ellen Degeneres, and numerous other individuals in and outside of the entertainment industry from earning millions. Contrary to popular sentiment, the world hasn't miraculously become a colourless place in the wake of Barack Obama's historic presidential win. Racism is still alive and well. To compare this with a vote against same-sex marriage, is a slap in the face to all the blacks who suffered under centuries of white dictatorship.
