Good thing I did no such thing. You were talking about the problem with the Bishop's quote, not what about the quote you had a problem with, at least that's the way I read it based on what you wrote.
You seemed to be saying that there was a problem with the bishop's quote, meaning that the quote wasn't clear enough about the Bishop's position. I am thinking this because you were using the quote as a basis for a point.
If your point is that you disagree with the Bishop, that's different than what I read in your statement.
And even that is confusing, since the Bishop's point was never to compare/contrast blacks gaining rights and gays gaining rights, he just says the equality of gays should not be a civil rights issue, which you and I agree it should be.

But you agreed that how gays are treated
is a civil rights issue.
He never compared them in the way you have a strong opinion about, his quote is specifically about civil rights.

Because the previous sentence talks about homosexuality, and that the whole discussion has been about LGBT rights, I think it's pretty obvious that I wasn't all of a sudden trying to say that a bunch of sexual activities that are currently not ok and harmful were now ok.
The point was that the Bishop's whole basis for his different view isn't relevant at all, if people chose to be gay it still would not be ok for the government to discriminate or repress those people.
