    US gay leaders seek to bridge racial divide

    Each year, Dyana Mason kicks off the summer with two road trips: one to Washington's black gay pride celebration in May and a second to its predominantly white June counterpart, Capital Pride.

'We have this rainbow of unity - 'We're all in it together,' ' says Fowlkes, president of the International Federation of Black Prides. 'Truth be told, it's not that way.' His group represents over 23 annual black pride celebrations drawing thousands of black gays to cities such as New York, Chicago and Atlanta. Such culture-specific celebrations are on the rise as the face of gay America shifts from the white male stereotype. [AP]

    Mason, director of an advocacy group called Equality Virginia, is not alone. Through the fall, similar celebrations will unfold across the nation, underscoring a racial rift some say splinters gay America when a united front is needed most.

    National gay and lesbian groups are responding with marketing campaigns and old-fashioned schmoozing to win over minority gays, many of whom argue white activists want their votes on gay marriage and other national issues, but rarely include poverty, racism and other minority concerns on their agendas.

    "We have this rainbow of unity — 'We're all in it together,'" said Earl Fowlkes, president of the International Federation of Black Prides. "Truth be told, it's not that way."

    His group represents more than 23 annual black pride celebrations drawing thousands of black gays to New York, Chicago, Atlanta and other cities. Such culture-specific celebrations are on the rise as the face of gay America shifts from the white male stereotype.
