Open Question: Do you think being gay….?

and the things they go through can be compared to what african american or any other person of color went through back in the day (and sometimes still today) we discussed it in government class today and i found it intresting..yet i didnt agree....being mean to homosexuals is wrong no matter how you feel about it..but i wouldnt compare it...gay people didnt get lynched because of thier skin color wich they cannot hide obviously, but being gay is something personal and not everyone has to know it unlike race or skin color..what do you think
