True enough Ep. I dont believe that the gays are suffering anywhere near those of Blacks though and that in itself is a part of the stuggle for gays.
Those that have fought injustice at a much greater degree, rightly or wrongly, see someone that cant apply benefits to their partner as something dramatically less of a big deal. These same people might see the insistance on allowing GM as opposed to civil unions as pushing too far at this time and just being unreasonable
Those people that believe this would be from the middle of the spectrum too. Many of whom see gays as having more money than themselves, having a better lifestyle and compare this to the civil rights struggles of the 60s.....and just chuckle to themselves because they dont see any valid comparison.
