I don't see why you're not understanding. See below:

And I believe that PiKA or MysticCat said that you have absolutely no idea what hardships an individual has been through. How much actual hate and oppression have you experienced? This isn't the time that we talk about our ancestors who were chained up on the boat and our grandparents who faced the hoses in the South; this is about us, right now.
Hell, if we really want to play in the Oppression Olympics, let's talk about Native Americans, shall we?
So, for the last time,
stop bringing up the "fact" that the LGBTQ community hasn't had it as hard as the African-American community.
(since you love this face so much)
Anyway, the ultimate point of this conversation is that if you went to Chick-Fil-A for food, especially on Huckabee Appreciation Day, you are supporting homophobia, heterosexism, and heterocentrism. Congrats.
Saving you a Google trip:
Heterocentrism - the societal ideology that heterosexuality is normal, better, and expected.
Heterosexism - a system of oppression that assumes all people are heterosexual
Homophobia - the fear, hatred, or discomfort with individuals who do not identify as heterosexual
