This isn't to argue the rightness or wrongness of being gay, just that not getting sexual satisfaction certainly is no where near the same as being forcibly enslaved and being denied the most basic things like education and facilities. PETA recently created a stir by comparing treatment of animals to slavery, which unfortunately has become a common guilt tactic used by extremist groups. While sexual orientation itself may not be a choice, two people having sex certainly is, and having sex is not simply an innocent physical trait like race. Sex isn't a birth right but a luxury or pleasure. Why is sexual satisfaction such a big deal when there are millions of single people who go through life without ever having any romantic pleasure, and there are also hundreds of millions of people with worse problems like poverty and famine. It's also wrong to discriminate against people for being fat, but I wouldn't compare it to racism because it would be like comparing getting chicken pox to cancer
