Have Any Of You Ever Had To Deal With Racism From Other Gay People?

It’s not fun at all of being targeted, but people do things that they shouldn’t. It’s just weird but have you ever had to deal with such things I would like to know.

Yes I have. Although I am of mixed ethnicity, I am generally considered to be white. My lover at the time was Black and we were in a very good relationship. We often frequented a local club on the weekends. On night at the club my lover, Jeff, went to use the restroom and was stopped by two other Black guys who asked him why he was with me. He expressed that it was because he loved me. The both got annoyed and said that he should be with another Black man. That it was wrong to be with a white man. He told them to mind their own business.

Not really. Other than dating preferences and that's a hands-off topic for me.
