Just to say this.
4) Okay, I get that, but doesn’t it piss you off when they use the Civil Rights Movement for their movement?
Why wouldn't it be?

There's a problem, a tinge of sound to that question that makes it sound the like person asking it could very well be confusing the word "Civil Rights" to be a racial thing. Whereas it simply an individual rights thing. I just so happens blacks were denied this, and therefor Civil Rights groups against blacks not having rights arose.

Such a statement either does not recognize the meaning of Civil Rights and it's independence from race.
Or the person doesn't realize that gays, asking for rights, is asking for rights. I mean, racial misconception or not, how can a person not understand that gay rights is a form of Civil Rights? Do they, people who say this, think that Gays are forcing ideology down the throats of others by fighting for the right to marry, is that what a statement like this means?

I don't understand such a statement like this. And I don't want to jump to racial conclusions about it.
But it's pretty clear to me that Civil Rights are Human Liberty. And that the right for gays to marry is Liberty.
