Privilege does that to people, I guess. Hell, white queers still (either consciously or by neglect) push POC queers right out the door. It's one of the major reasons (long with trans-hate, etc.) that I finally gave up on the mainstream queer culture, and opted to only participate in it politically. Every party, dance, what-have-you that I attended always ended up being a study in frustration, as I tried to gently point out the ways that they were making the environment seem hostile or unwelcoming to POC. When the gay party is less diverse than the local gun club, I think you've got a real problem.
