Yes it is an equal rights issue but at the same time, they are two totally different things.

You cant tell if someone is gay just by looking at them, you cant tell if someone is gay by their birth certificate, passport, drivers license, you cant tell if someone is gay by where they live (unless you count The Village of course ).
This is interesting for Lee to make this distinction. I've heard this line of analysis from Black people too.

So answer this question - are equal rights for Jews different or less so then for Blacks or women? You cannot tell if someone is Jewish just by looking at them.

Our country's working civil rights legistation is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which protects discrimination on the basis of not only race and sex, but also religion. It's not just about your looks, but about discrimination people because of who they are and their immutable traits.
