No gays were not shackled, sold, raped, whipped into submission, or had a community of whites track them down and drag them from the home or vehicle to be hanged .... sorry. Why don't you take some time to watch 12 years a slave and educate yourself with our nation's dark history, then find me an article where gays had to endure the same.
You haven't either so under your own logic you should not receive the same equal rights as those that have.
Gays have it tough yes, but don't try to equate their struggles with those of African Americans because you think it will draw more sympathizes to your cause. Let's try to be accurate and not look to stretch the hardships of one as being completely compatible to the other.
Nobody is comparing struggles. Nobody is comparing race to orientation despite they're both being innate traits. What is compared (and comparable) is the discrimination.
