Absolutely yes. Homosexuals are really the only main minority group in this country yet to benefit from civil rights. Women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews....all have more or less been given equal rights (at least on a legal level).
My feeling is that people's problem with gays in general stems from religion, which shouldn't get mixed with politics (though it always does). Believe me, if you could "see" that someone was gay (like you can see they are black or female) my guess would be that gays wouldn't even be allowed to vote in this country.
