In elevating the perceived homosexual suffering to the actual civil rights struggle is to diminish what these people went through. They aren't attacked en masse with water hoses, attack dogs, etc. I have yet to see a sign that says 'Heterosexuals Only' above any water fountains.

It's an insult, but not surprising. Among the arsenal of tools of the left, one of the most used is moral relativism, which is rooted in the most basic of evil; deception via good is evil, evil is good. The most outrageous argument along this vein I've seen (regarding The Passion) is one in which lefties exclaim that Jesus wasn't unique in his suffering. They say that many suffer worse than He did every day. This is used to pity themselves. They are spoiled children and want to whine that easing their 'suffering' at not having everything they want should be the goal of all mankind.

Or rest room, or restaurant or school...thank you for that talking point. It's a keeper.
