Did we just equate being a homosexual to a US past history of Slavery? While I'm avidly against the whole "we owe black americans" something because of attrocities before I was born, I don't believe homosexuals were ever forced to be slaves, pick cotton, work plantations, be beat with whips or sold outright...I might have missed something.....

IMO, homosexual quest for equal rights under law is similar more so to women's rights issues of the 50s-70s.
