re: Black pastors: Homosexual rights far cry from civil rights

He's right.

Of course he is. Not really comparable.

Plus, while being gay is immutable, wearing striped tank tops and cut off denim shorts is certainly something you can control. I won't pretend modest gay folks will never encounter anyone who doesn't like them, but a laid back gay couple that doesn't spend every waking moment on being gay won't draw the attention or ire of very many people. While I don't advocate mistreatment of gay people who are outlandish, people who act out in society are going to draw negative attention a lot, gay or otherwise.

That scenario is nothing like what black people in this country endured in the civil rights era.
