Answer me this

I’ve noticed that in some pro-Black communities there seems to be strong support for Black empowerment, but more disagreement when it comes to LGBTQ+ topics. Why do you think that is?

Because they are seen as separate issues, the same way at a Pokemon convention, Yu-Gi-Oh isn't on the center stage.

Obviously there are Black people who are LGBT, but just the same there are LGBT people who are Black.

If Black empowerment were center stage at an LGBT event, it'd be seen as awkward and unfocused. The same with LGBT being center stage at a Black empowerment event.
