Racism/Prejudice within the Lesbian community in parts of England

I'm an out and proud black British Lesbian. In the area I live I would say that 85% of lesbians are white. Many of my lesbian friends whom are all white have said to me they couldnt ever have a relationship with a black girl, asian girl or a oriental girl bascially anyone of colour.I asked them why they feel this way and they just screw up their face and say 'egrh no' . It angers me so much that in this day and age and with the multicultrul society we live in that people can be so one minded. When I have been out to lesbian clubs in my area, I get the feeling that when I come across white girls they would like to persue their feeling at that moment in time but they then think twice because of maybe what there friends will say or even if they should be thinking about it.

Now I have just come back from working and living in America-California for 9 months. Because I'm 19 I couldnt go to lesbian clubs and bars. But I did manage to meet gay and lesbian people on my travells. I went to the castro street fair in San francisco, where there was a multitude of different races and religions. I saw many inter-racial couples male and female. The vibe was just so good girls didnt look at me and think 'a black girl o god' girls of all different races where checking me out! just because simply I was another lesbian who was looking hott that particuar day..joke!

But seriously I think America has it sorted with the LGBT inter-racial community.Because there are so many different races in America people dont think twice if they see a lesbian of another race they just persue it if they are attracted to them.

So ladies.. what do you think about racism and predjudice in your LGBT community? Have you been a victim of racism of prejudice?

Tell me what you think, I would love to know.
