. . . Why use any other persecuted group at all to compare to the gay experience? If oppression of gays is so prevalent, and I believe it is, then it is an issue that should be able to stand on its own without comparison to others.

I don't think anybody is comparing "the gay experience" to "the black experience," including the Facebook post that AF posted. I think the point some people are trying to make is that bigotry is bigotry, regardless of whether it is directed toward a group where most people would recognize it for the bigotry it is, or whether it is directed toward a group for whom the bigotry often goes unchallenged.
