Everybody in America gets caught up in celebrity culture, though. The second any celebrity says they like something a thousand people will buy in because in our society having forming your own identity is less important than hopping onto someone else's. We're a very strange collective culture.

True, but it feels like we really excel at it in ways no one else can.
Yeah gays have certainly had a history of discrimination here, but no where near the scale black people have seen. It goes well beyond slavery even, entire cities were built around segregating populations, government districts are divided up to be more favorable to white people, legal segregation of whites and blacks in much of the south that people alive today lived through and fought against. Openly racist policy didn't end here a couple hundred years ago it's still pretty recent. Also it's just a lot easier to discriminate against people when they are obviously different, you can't easily pick out the all gay people in the crown and make them send them to the back of the bus.

gays have never been bought and sold as slaves though ... I mean I'm neither black nor gay nor american so I'm probably way out of line, but it seems to me like historically blacks have a little bit more to be angry about

Hey remember when we declared black people 3/5 of a person?
Yeah in a sense we really only got better at trying to be subtle about it all. Still pretty obvious if you think about it for a minute but hey.

also, plenty of those policies are still in effect and supported by members of congress, they're just called something else now
