The black experience in America isn't even remotely comparable to homosexuality. I've never heard of institutionalised gay slavery. Have you.

Saying that they're not the same because one group hasn't been enslaved is to not recognize the many similarities between the civil rights movement in the 50's and 60's in America, and the civil rights movement happening now for the LGBTQ.
There has been widespread, systematic discrimination against both African Americans and those who identify as LGBTQ.
Quote:Did gays ever have to use separate water fountains and swimming pools. Don't think so.
There might have been this kind of discrimination if you could identify a gay person at a glance like you can an African American.
