So the gay community supports "Black Lives Matter" and disdain the police despite having more to lose to crime

Ingratitude, Thugs, and the Gay Community



A St. Louis coffee shop is imbibing some bitter brew over cups it gave to customers with FTP written on them. For those who can't figure it out, FTP means F@## the Police. Gateway Pundit is percolating the news over this incident:
"A radical St. Louis coffee shop is getting negative publicity over the initials 'FTP' being written on coffee cups. FTP stands for F*** the Police. Mokabe's Coffeehouse made a snarky announcement on Twitter claiming it has placed an employee on 'paid leave' over the matter" [...] "The FTP message first came to the public's attention via a tweet by St. Louis Black Lives Matter activist "KayRay@RE_invent_ED" on Twitter who posted a photo on Tuesday. "When you realize why bae is bae @jcos24 and why @MoKaBes is your favorite place. FTP on all to-go orders" A man claiming to be the suspended employee posted about it on Twitter. Starting my paid leave after work tonight. To say I am contrite would do no justice... Just like the police -- Goku Super Baeyan (@jcos24) October 7, 2015 "Starting my paid leave after work tonight. To say I am contrite would do no justice... Just like the police" Last November Mokabe's caused controversy by announcing it would open its door and serve as a 'safe space' for anti-police protesters when the grand jury decision was announced in the Officer Darren Wilson-Michael Brown case according to a report by the Riverfront Times."

Mokabees is a coffee shop in the city of St. Louis. Sited on the northern point of the trendy South Grand strip, this establishment is known as a homosexual hangout, catering to the gay community that settled in the Tower Grove South neighborhood. Tower Grove is the community just south of Tower Grove Park; to the north is the Shaw neighborhood, where the Black Lives Matter crowd rioted after the shooting death of the criminal Vonderrit Myers Jr. Myers was shot while threatening police with a firearm in the Shaw neighborhood, and the thugs who had been rioting in Ferguson over the death of Mike Brown moved their operations to Shaw, closing Grand Avenue for a time and invading the campus of St. Louis University (where they camped out for weeks thanks to a sympathetic SLU president). Myers was unquestionably guilty in this incident, and had a massive criminal record to back it up. My question is, why is the gay community throwing in with the Black Lives Matter crowd? Why do they say "F#%% the police" when they themselves are so vulnerable to attack from bigots, according to their own claims? The gay community has considerable wealth to protect, and criminals should be a great concern to them. Also, there is considerable animus in the black community toward gay people. And yet, here we have what I am fairly sure is a gay employee throwing in with the rioters and looters. It makes no sense. Oh, I understand the temptation to stand with an underdog if you see yourself as an underdog, but would Mokabes support a movement by Nazis or by Ku Klux Klansmen? No. It seems their sympathy for hateful radicals flows in the direction of politically correct hate-filled radicals. They are all on board with black thugs and criminals, and seem to hate the very people who will come to their aid if an anti-homosexual bigot should attack them. This is illustrative of an important point; being "authentically gay" does not mean being attracted to and even having relations with someone of the same sex. It is about adopting a worldview and lifestyle that is essentially aimed at revolution and the destruction of the current social and moral order.
Now, there are plenty of gay people who are not revolutionaries in this sense, but they are marginalized by the core group. To be gay requires not just homosexual urges or even a lifestyle that is built around your sexual preferences but the acceptance of a radical political philosophy, one deeply rooted in socialistic and nihilistic principles. Gay culture defines your beliefs. This is why so many people who were conservative at one point turn into liberals after they come out. The most glaring example is David Brock, the former reporter for the American Spectator who now runs the leftist attack site Media Matters. Brock came out and was not rejected, but his book "Hillary's Choice" in which Brock gushed about the diva Hillary Clinton found a soft market and Brock immediately turned against his compadres. Now, this might just have been a character flaw in Brock, but we see it with other people as well. Take Andrew Sullivan, for instance. Sullivan knows liberalism is stupid, and yet he often sounds the trumpet, and that is precisely because of his homosexuality. There are good gay conservatives, make no mistake. But there is enormous pressure to conform in the gay community and, as in all such things, gay people feel vulnerable and isolated, especially when they first come out. They seek support, and it is given, but there is a cost that the gay community seems to demand. So the gay community supports "Black Lives Matter" and disdain the police despite having more to lose to crime. According to CNN money:
"Respondents not only reported significantly higher annual incomes -- $61,500 compared with the national median of $50,054 -- but they also carried about $4,000 less in debt than the average American and had $6,000 more in household savings. They were even slightly more likely to have jobs in the first place, with an unemployment rate of 7% versus the national rate of 7.9%, Prudential found."
And black on gay violence is epidemic. See these two articles by Colin Flaherty.
