Gay Rights vs. Civil Rights vs. Human Rights

In this article, Dwight McKissic, senior pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, and founder of the "Not on My Watch" coalition was quoted as saying:

"When homosexuals have spent over 200 years in slavery, when homosexuals have been legally defined as three-fifths human, when homosexuals have been the denied the right to vote and own property because they are homosexuals, then we can begin a discussion of parallels [between the civil rights and gay rights movements]."

So, according to Dwight, members of the GLBT community must endure 200 years of hatred, persecution and discriminated before we should expect some right to equality.

Then, like all Christian terrorists, he lays down the patented homophobic smoke screen used by all rabid bigots:

He also pointed out the slippery slope America will find itself on if it decides homosexuality is an innate characteristic. "If I could be a homosexual by nature," McKissic said by way of example, "I could also be a polygamist, adulterer, pedophile, or child molester by nature. Should we pass laws to approve of these behaviors?"

Why can't we pass a law against sick and hateful men like this fuck-head Dwight?
