Yes, this is in response to something. No, this is not a slam against this person, but rather the comparison.

Anyone that compares the Civil Rights movement of the 60's to the Gay Rights movement of today (beyond the fact that they are both civil rights movements) doesn't own their privilege. I truly believe that - by comparing the two movements, we disregard how these intersect. Believe it or not, there are members of minority groups that are gay.

And another thing - why the Civil Right's movement? Why not the Women's movement? Is it because more people realize that a comparison of those two movements (gay rights and women's rights) is ridiculous?
