I am not comparing the amount of oppression between gays and blacks. But I am saying that comparing the oppression itself is the same, or at least very close to it.

You would surely get the argument of "I can't change the colour of my skin but I could change my sexual preference, you know the expression a girl turning a guy gay or a guy turning a girl lesbian."

I wouldn't call that an argument. It's maybe an anecdote. Either way the science is showing that being gay isn't anymore of a choice than being straight. The choice is whether to act on those urges or force yourself to the societal "norms" against what your biology is telling you. But of course like anything there is also people caught in the middle between gay and straight.

Sure those are fun jokes but I think alot of people need more education on this matter.

Agreed. But I think that education should come from sounds arguments and reliable science not "tradition" and superstition.
