Well it was the last sentence of a post, so "entirely framed" is a bit much. If you want to understand Godwin's law here is a quote from Wikipedia which you could have found in 30 seconds:
"Godwin's law itself can be applied mistakenly or abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, when fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparison made by the argument is appropriate.'
Your bringing Godwin's law into this shows you believe a comparison of LGBTQ+ discrimination to the KKK (or Nazi's) is somehow hyperbole, when in fact it's completely reasonable...I mean you can read up on how the Nazi's treated homosexuals.
So either you are being dishonest in your statements or your personal bias is preventing you from seeing the hatred and violence directed at the LGBTQ+ community.
I'm unsure if pointing out someone's bias could be considered Ad Hominem. It's definitely one of the more tame personal attacks going.
