Actually, he was pointing out the fact that the struggle that homosexuals suffer from are no different than every other group have suffered from. Fat people, skinny people, nerds, geeks, goths, whores, short people, handicap, red heads, immigrants, foreigners. etc. have all been beaten up, attacked and physically and emotionally harmed for simply those traits described.
And we have laws protecting them. Not every state protects employees from termination due to sexual orientation. There is also a difference between individual acts of hate and institutionalized persecution. Some putz on the street calling you a ****** and a state prohibiting you from adopting a child due to your sexual orientation are worlds apart.

How convenient for an argument that the two movements are entirely incomparable if you disregard everything similar about them.

Are you doing that thing where you merge everyone who disagrees with you into one borg collective devoid of individuality?
