Would you care to explain how this is preferential treatment?

A hippie is living a particular lifestyle or has particular interests that are political, spiritual, and recreational, whereas a gay man is just living. On one hand, you have one following a lifestyle loosely based around an amorphous philosophy that erupted in the 60s. Or maybe they just happen to be really laid back. I don't know. But on the other hand, you have someone who happens not to be heterosexual.

Do you think it's all the same?
