It's the same old song...

But it still makes me want to beat my head against a wall:

"Just decades ago African Americans were denied equal rights. Today, many people believe that same-sex couples are facing the same level of discrimination." (from the Freedom to Marry folks, if you want to drop them a line.)

I really have no idea how many people believe that these two situations are "the same level of discrimination." I'm guessing a number that isn't that particularly big, and that has some particularly strong bias against fact-checking. Is your objection to repeating this belief as though it were true (or at least reasonable), or to capitalizing off of the stupidity/victim mentality/bizarre sense of proportion in some segments of the LGBT community?

My objection is to repeating it as if it were true.

My endurance of people's stupidity was already at an all time low today.

I clicked on their website. Every single photo (including images clearly bought from a stock agency) of white people. Of course. The sole exception being the photo of Obama.
