Different struggles, but if you think there has even been tolerance for homosexuals existing and living their lives at all in modern society until like, 40 years ago you're just incorrect.
And since gay minorities exist (whom life is pretty much hell on earth given that minorities are often the most anti gay groups) I dont see why you need to downplay their struggles.
Bottom line is: Gay people have and will still be executed, beaten, marginalized, and have their rights stripped from them, and thats not right.
Think about it this way: minorities have been exploited and abused.... But Gays couldnt even exist out in the open without being snuffed out one by one.
1. Homosexuality in ancient Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"It was expected and socially acceptable for a freeborn Roman man to want sex with both female and male partners, as long as he took the penetrative role.[10] The morality of the behavior depended on the social standing of the partner, not gender per se. Both women and young men were considered normal objects of desire, but outside marriage a man was supposed to act on his desires only with slaves, prostitutes (who were often slaves), and the infames. Gender did not determine whether a sexual partner was acceptable, as long as a man's enjoyment did not encroach on another's man integrity. It was immoral to have sex with another freeborn man's wife, his marriageable daughter, his underage son, or with the man himself; sexual use of another man's slave was subject to the owner's permission."
Homosexuality wasn't an issue until Christianity came thru crushin da buildings on all dat shyt.
