Being gay is not a race issue.
You weaken the argument for gays by making the comparison.
Race and sexual orientation have no biological links.
One does not depend on or negate the other; they are entirely separate.
They have an entirely separate history.
When gays argue their case through references to civil rights struggles that involved black people then the argument becomes about Blacks and not gays.
This is so because you are not talking about your problems; you're just talking about blacks and claiming gays have the same issues.
But to answer your question, I will make the comparison :
I don't require a White man to eat watermelon and chitterlings to prove he accepts me; so why would gays require that I kiss a man for their acceptance?
It is at this juncture that gay rights and civil rights took completely opposite paths.
Blacks didn't require Whites to kiss them during the integration of schools and still don't.
To put it simply; you're asking for too much.
Asking for too much is the best way to create resistance when there previously was little or none.
