Or am I being too simplistic?
And if there are two men over there in red sweaters, one black and one white?

Maybe they're a happy gay couple that like to dress the same, then you'd have to say "the gay black man" or "the gay white man"

I'm sure he does, and like you, I'm white, and take no offence whatsoever if he was to refer to me as white. It's all a load of sanctimonious claptrap.

Oooo, I'm shocked, does being gay mean you are in some way challenged or not normal?

Nobody has ever mentioned my skin colour. I am usually just described as "extremely handsome" or something along those lines .
