Like the old saying, it's like comparing apples and oranges.
Both have similarities (fruits; good for health, make good juice, etc.) but overall are still different.

I like your comparison. Similiarities in there fight for rights, but so different.

They feel the right to be married is a civil right. I say okay, but your inability to have your relationship recognized by the state/government/whatever doesn't even come close to the abuse and mistreatment blacks and other minorities have faced in this country.
It does bug me when they try to compare the civil rights movement to their movement because they're both completely different.

But it's not only about the right to marry. Many people treat gays like they're less of a man/woman. So in this aspect their struggle can be compared to the struggle of other minorities. Imagine a queer guy in some redneck village in Alabama during the 50's. I guess he'd get the same treatment as other minorities they wouldn't like.
Basically it's rather simple. You're not willing to let others treat you like you're lesser only for what you are born like. Not if you're black, not if you're disabled, not if you're gay.
Even if you are Christian or Muslim you want to be treated as equal, although I would regard that as far more negative than being gay. But they can do as they like because, and that's the point, there are certain basic rights you have as a human being. Others don't have to agree, but they have to accept it.

It certainly shouldn't be compared to race movements but they deserve the same rights as everyone else.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
aite this is my deal bout this whole deal...lol
str8 people get to marry and they marry the other sex
gays want to marry the same sex....makes sense cuz thats what they like...but how does that look in society
IMO the reason they compare it to race movements cuz race movements get alot of hype (jackson, shaprton) and by bringin them in it will get alott heat etc...
but i dont know this is a tuff subject...they should be able to marry whoever they want...but when they start chargin a GAY TAX to the str8 people and shit like that is messed up
Sikotic™:
Gays can hide their gayness.
Minorities can't hide the color of their skin.
This is where the difference lies.
