If these people are going to analogize their situation to the struggle of the 'Civil Rights Movement', can they at least have the decency to compare themselves to people who were actually practicing homosexuals?

I wouldn't have a problem with them invoking the names of James Baldwin or Bayard Rustin, but to the best of my knowledge, Rosa Parks wasn't a lezzie!
