No, but they are people like everyone else...
Then call it People-ism, homophobia, common sense or just plain stupid. Either way, stop making the ridiculous comparisons between blacks and gays. They might not like it but gays can simply choose to live as straight people and escape all of the bigotry, that's not a choice actual minority ethnic groups have. The idea that a gay guy/gal honestly thinks they know what it's like to be black/chinese/indian/etc is arrogant beyond belief. Only in America would a group try standing on the bodies of dead slaves, Jim Crow and generations of suffering and yell "I'm just like you!" to advance their cause, LOL!
