Does the #BlackLivesMatter movement have a problem with today's focus on gay marriage? Sure looks like it!

It looks like the #BlackLivesMatters movement isn’t too happy with the country’s new focus on gay marriage.

This photo, for example, has been RT’d over 2500 times:

And it sounds like it’s being talked about on Instagram, too:

On IG people keep posting "don't let gay marriage take yall eye off the real problem" … Ummmm WHET?!

Here’s just one example.

Although @YoFlashh is angry that people are misinterpreting what he’s saying:

@Dom_Francia yea you right everybody is taking the tweet wrong I respect all gays and all I just don't want ppl to forget about nothing ?

@Andyyy_97 @Jrizzle_32 yea people just taking me wrong i respect gays and all others I'm just making sure ppl don't be blinded

Here’s even more anger from the #BlackLivesMatter crowd not happy with the the gay marriage “hullabaloo”:

Wake me up after all the hullabaloo for gay marriage #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

You can't enjoy the legalization of gay marriage if you're dead #BlackLivesMatter

Even though it is an amazing feat to make gay marriage legal, it is still illegal to be a black man in living America #BlackLivesMatter

Yes there are still unresolved problems such as #BlackLivesMatter but that doesn't mean you have to belittle the acceptance of gay marriage.

Legalizing gay marriage is cool, but they should really lower the drinking age so citizens like me stop getting MIP's #BlackLivesMatter

They only legalized gay marriage to get everyone off track about #BlackLivesMatter

White people will snap over gay marriage and animal abuse but will have a problem with #BlackLivesMatter

Cool. Legalize gay marriage, but continue avoiding the fact that a hashtag like #BlackLivesMatter has to exist?

Gay Marriage is cool && all , but can we go back to the fact that innocent black people are being murdered ? #BlackLivesMatter
