OH and YOU would know HOW? I believe there WAS an Adam and Eve. Just because you don't believe doesn't make it true.

You know, discrimination at it's purest form.

Homosexuals have a much longer history of being discriminated against, marginalized, tortured and murdered; than Blacks.

Yet it remains a mystery to ....YOU.

And if you think homosexuals choose to be homosexuals, you're ignorant and completely self-absorbed in your Bilically Correct bias.

Are you upset because I let it slip that Santa Claus is a myth too? Sorry about that.

But you had to know the truth some day.

Here's the simple answer to your question.
Spoiler

Your questions in themselves demonstrates that you have no idea what you're talking about. Gays are not "playing a race race" when they compare their struggle (as a group) to get acceptances and equality to the Civil Rights Movement that blacks went through to gain equality and acceptances as equals. Gays aren't blaming blacks for anti-gay attitudes by making the comparison. Where ever did you come up with that twisted logic? When history looks back on this generation in America it will bear witness to the fact that there are parallels in the Civil Rights Movement to the Gay Rights Movement. If you can't see that, your educational in sociology is sorely lacking.

Right, because it's not like gays haven't been murdered or had attempted genocide against them for being gay or anything. Gays can't possibly have suffered throughout the world like slaves owned by Christians

Whether there was a real Adam and Eve or not is up for debate. There could have been 2 humans called that, but 1) They absolutely were not the first/only humans on earth and 2) It seems unlikely in Hebrew, since Adam is literally the Hebrew word for "mankind", "humanity". Seems like Adam personified the human race more so than being an actual person.

Your statement is a prime example of flawed moral equivilence. So you really think that the plight of gays is the same as those who have suffered from slavery? Such sentiments are an insult to the real misery endured by people who were actually enslaved. Such a contention is outrageous.

You are obviously anti-Christian (most gays are) and have some deep seated hatred of Chrisitians. Did you realize that the Muslims were the primary instigators and facilitators of the African slave trade? Do you realize that slavery is still alive and well in many Muslim regions?

I guess when gays participate in hatred of other groups they should not expect decency and acceptance by those groups. Sentiments of hatred tend to expand beyond one group and I would not be surprised to learn that you have problems with other groups of people than just Christians. I have nothing against gays, but apparently you have something against Christians.

it's alive and well practically everywhere, although not always in the form of unpaid agricultural labor

You do know 10s of thousands of gays were killed in the Holocaust for being gay right? Uganda, a country with a higher percentage of Christians than the US is attempting to pass a "kill the gays" bill to execute or inprison anyone who is perceived as gay or even associates with gays. Countless gays have been murdered and assasinated in this country. Harvey Milk and Matthew Shepard ring any bells?

It's not outrageous at all. Gays have been grossly mistreated too. Why do we need to have a contest of who has suffered the worst?

Way to generalize. I'm a Messianic Jew. Do you know what that is? The Apostles were the first ones. I'm not anti Christian, I'm anti fundamentalist right wing crazies. And many gays are anti-Christian because of lies you fundamentalists keep spreading about them.
