When did black civil rights leaders try to compare their movement to the women’s right struggle for support? The subject isn’t who’s more oppressed, it’s about the validity of a comparision between gay rights movement and the black civil rights movement. I don’t really think that it’s that big of a deal, since the black civil rights movement is now an all-purpose omni-example for any type of agenda anyone could ever want to push.
