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.

Making a comparison to another person's position to the KKK is arguing in bad faith. The whole point of Godwin's law is that this is such a banal trope that it is in effect a capitulation to resort to such hyperbole. But if this is the best you can do, then I won't stop you.
