The situation is markedly better than it was only 20 years ago. At that time almost 50% of ads in the personal section of gay newspapers in San Francisco would end with the phrase: no fats, fems , or blacks. No one had any problem printing those ads then There was even an article in the local papers about a group of white gay men, “the A gays” who would have parties at each others’ homes but would insist on advance warning if someone was coming with a black guest. So times have changed slowly, but of course more progress is needed
