Anyone who believes that a minority group has uncontrollable, inappropriate sexual desires as a function of that feature which makes them a minority is no better than, and in is fact quite similar to, Jim Crow racists.

I had decided to leave this thread alone, but I had to respond to this. Homosexuals are a minority group, if you define a minority group as a group that is not in the majority. This would also make athletes, ivy league school students, athiests, vegetarians, farmers, and any other group defined by their actions into minorities. It is odious and disturbing to me that people compare the race struggles to the supposed gay rights issues. Where are gays being persecuted? What rights don't they have that everyone else has? Not everyone loves the idea of homosexual sex. And now people are trying to equate that to the Jim Crow era south? This comparison is one of the most asinine things I have seen. What next? Comparing people who don't like homosexuality to Nazi's? Yeah, just the other day I was leading a group of gays to a gas chamber
.
I can't believe people now have so little respect for the trials of blacks and other minorities in America that they would try to compare those struggles to "gay rights". The ability of many liberals to now trivialize the work of early civil rights pioneers is disgusting.
