If they were caught in a homosexual act, they would instantly be arrested, and in most cases, killed. While the LGBT community didn’t necessarily face slavery in America the way African Americans did, it was simply because they were considered “undesirable”. I’ll take this as an opportunity to educate your ignorance, Mr. In every way it is pathetic to attack someone on his sexual orientation or ethnicity. (…) that attacking a gay person as a black man is pretty pathetic, considering both demographics have gone through the same struggle.
Racism, even tough just as terrible and uncivilized, is practiced on a much smaller scale. We can say for a fact that these religion oppressed the homosexuals all throughout history. I’m not saying everyone that practices these beliefs are homophobic, but it puts things in perspective. You might actually argue that homosexuals have it worse considering homophobia is deeply rooted in the christian community of roughly 2.18 billion (2011) and the muslim religion of 1.68 billion (2013) people. Discrimination based on sexual orientation is just as common in western civilization as discrimination based on racial difference. He probably referred to recent struggles that were placed on the african-american community like being targeted by discrimination.
