I was with him until this. Of course you don't think its important, you're not being harmed by it. I'm sure that the country had far more serious issues to deal with during the Civil Rights Movement, and I'm sure people said it was a non-issue, or that the problem didn't exist. But I also am willing to wager that those people weren't black.

To a gay person, this could easily be the most important political issue they've ever known. Fundamental civil rights wouldn't be important to you, if they were being infringed on?

It's admittedly easy to ignore the plight of other individuals if we dismiss everything that doesn't directly effect us. And we certainly can't be expected to fight other people's battles. But that doesn't mean we can't recognize that their problem is important and serious to them.
