Now I can think of one thing that might have helped this last fact. Gay people can hide their sexuality whereas black folks can't hide their skin color. If gay people couldn't hide their choice, they might have had a rougher time than they do now. Lots of Hollywood and sports celebrities were gay, but they never let it out because they felt (with good reason) that they would have been pushed right out. But gays are not nearly as "unequal" as blacks were. Later, QD.
    And that's fine. I totally agree. I've never said once gay people have been subject to violent oppression, and I doubt they will be. But there are varying degrees of social injustice. To say that gays are not experiencing some degree of injustice is simply irresponsible.

    They are, but they aren't. It's quite a small degree, I'd say. There's not much they can't do. The only main issues is getting legally married and ridicule. The getting married part is slowly disappearing. And the ridicule? Who doesn't get ridiculed? Who doesn't get made fun of? Who isn't the butt of jokes? Later, QD.
