  • I think that it depends on the area, really. I live in an area that's very tolerant as well as fairly acceptant of homosexuality, but I've had complaints from "both sides" when I was in an interracial relationship. I was told that I was "gonna dilute his black blood". I didn't have nearly the flack when I was dating someone of (mostly) Asian descent. I've had friends in interracial relationships, some with children, face similar problems. The only problem my parents had with the relationship was in case we had children in need of an organ transplant because it'd be harder to find a match. (It's difficult to begin with because there are so few organ donors.) Some of my homosexual friends, on the other hand, feel that they have to watch their backs even when not in a relationship. They have the benefit, however, of not being "outed" unless they show PDA or are otherwise too "obvious". I'm not saying that they have it made, but where I live, it's much better tolerated. I think that transgendered, "swinging", and polyamorous relationships are even worse off in the public eye.
  • I just think it's a double standard in America that the gays are getting all these right and are becoming accepted and couples that are mixed only catch flak.
  • I think two guys together, one white and one dark skinned would freak about 50 percent of the population out totally.
  • I think a Black and White Gay Couple has it doubly worse. This is the stuff in life that really gives me the heartburn which someone asked earlier about. I doubt I will live to see the day where racism and homophobia will be a forgotten entity....but I hold onto that hope that both will one day come to pass.
  • Without a doubt gay people. It really is a shame that in this day & age, people just can't be left alone
  • Definitely homosexuals. Interracial dating is more open, and you see it's becoming to be very common. Almost everyone that is a new born is a mixed breed; in a few generations our world will be filled with mixed kids. Homosexuals, well. They are not as open as interracial dating. And things come into hand like religion, certain customs, etc. People are not as comfortable, so they are looked down upon.
  • Ok, I am 1) bisexual, 2) Rromani. If I am in a relationship of any kind, it is interracial. There are just plain not tons of Rromani in America. I can tell you that I face more flack for my relationship with another man than I do with my relationship with a woman. Of course, whoever I am with gets it for being with a "Gypsy" but physical assault is not as common with interracial relationships than with homosexual relationships. I say "gay" is worse than interracial.
  • definitely homosexuals
  • Homosexuals. I was in an interracial marriage once, it was difficult, but I saw very little descrimination.
  • Gays but only because it is the current persecution of choice by the Church. While the Church of England in the UK just loves to persecute just about any group of people it can, gays are the flavor of the month - again. There has not been this much religious fun and merriment since the Catholics & the Spanish Inquisition. Who needs to burn witches when you can bang on about the horrors of homosexuality. It's the sermon that just keeps on giving.
