interracial relationships

I don't know. Interracial marriages are very accepted here in Oregon by both straights and gays.

 

I think, that as a community, we do accept and tolerate more in general.

 

I honestly have no idea.

I mean i think it depends on where you live and how traditional the families involved are. I know that certain members of my family would shit a brick if one of my brothers dated someone black/asian/indian/native/etc. :/

 

One of my aunties married a black man and my step-grandmother hated it.

I think gay people as a whole understand the effects of discrimination more and therefore are less likely to discriminate.

 

My first BF was African American and race was never an issue or ever brought up.

 

I think the LGBT community is a very accepting group. I have to agree,WE KNOW what
discrimination is like.
My niece is married to a black man,and I couldn't care less. It's ALL about equality and
love is love.

 

I think that we as gays see the hurt that discrimination can cause, and for the most part try to avoid doing it. My mom is dating a black man, and I would never think twice about it. A person is a person- sometimes I think that people forget about that.

 

While the LGBT community can sympathize with issues of acceptance, I really have to go with the middle of the road on this one. I mean percentage wise LGBT's are pretty low compared to the rest of the world and I know of instances where a gay guy has said, "I'm not attracted to/ I wouldn't date a ________" So really I think it's pretty even.

I'd like to hope that EVERYONE is getting past the stigma of being in an interracial relationship.

 

Yea i dont know bu i know it depends on the household i mean like my parents would be fine if i dated a black girl but my grandparents wouldn't be. I remember once at christmas my grandma said to my aunt who was dating a black guy "if your going to marry him wait until my parents die i mean i dont like it and they would have a heart attack!" i was like =O

 

I would like to think that LGBT people have a broader sense of acceptance for people outside their own characteristics, but it's not always the case. On the average, though, I can say that I'm more accepting of interracial couples than most straight people I know.

 

My white grandmother married my black step-grandfather.
Why is this an issue? People should love who they love. Regardless of anything else.

 

I say just a tad more because we'd likely know what it's like to be discriminated.
Just a tad, though.

 

i think lgbt people are more accepting as we know what the recieving ends like but interacial i think is pretty much accepted across the board apart from some extremist places but then all things are there.

 

I clicked yes simply because i hope we do.

 

I can only speak for gay men (not lesbians or bisexuals), but from what I've seen, I'd say we accept it LESS than straight people. Or, at least, we're more likely to be vocal about it. "Why are you going out with HIM?"

i would like to hope we accept it more. but i have noticed that most my gay guy friends avoid dating a different race.

 

Um well my mom is white and my dad is black so throughout my life I have seen people who have not liked my family because of this, but when it comes to whether gays accept it more or not i really cant say.

 

I think it's the same as straight people.

And I'm not racist or anything...I just don't find black men attractive...
