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 ?

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

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

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

I'm not for or against this gay marriage equality right that just passed. I don't want us to lose sight of other issues. #BlackLivesMatter

THEY LEGALIZED GAY MARRIAGE EVERYWHERE TO TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM #BlackLivesMatter .But why be happy over that as a LBGTQ comm.
