Once again, that was interpreting the term as a generalization commonly used. I also said that they were non-comparable, so I don't see what relevancy your post has to the topic at hand.

Did you know that in most states, you can legally be fired if your boss doesn't like that you're gay?
Did you know that in most states, you can legally be kicked out of your house if your landlord doesn't like that you're gay?
Think about it this way: Black people were/are minorities within society. Gay people are invisible minorities within their own families. I'm not saying gay people have it worse, I'm saying that both are very bad and can be compared. |
No, they cannot, actually. To say that they are is utterly ridiculous, and to see someone say that the fact that there were common arsons, lynchings, and other murders that happened to blacks living in the south in the 1960s is comparable to gay kids getting beat up, and
maybe killing themselves is just disgusting.
