A WHITES AND LATINS ONLY State of Mind

On any given day in America, countless gay men surf the Internet and tell the whole wide world: they prefer WHITES AND LATINS ONLY for love and sex.

When I surf websites frequented by gay men, I'm constantly reminded of images from the Segregation Era of the last century, images of "colored" people standing outside restaurants, restrooms, schools, businesses, bars, nightclubs, water fountains, all with signs warning: WHITES ONLY, NO BLACKS.

From where I stand, the Segregation Era lives on in My Racist Gay World. Welcome to my world. This is what it looks like in pictures.
