    gays were better than other minorities because they "wouldn't riot" in similar circumstances

Yeah I asked about the rationale but clearly there wasn't one. I actually asked because I think we are on double discrimination duty here; I think it's discriminatory to raise the gays up as somehow "better," but I also suspect that they said gays wouldn't riot because gay men are perceived as effeminate and women are, well, women, right?

I did do my duty and point out stonewall but of course if you're not arguing with intelligent people intelligent points don't hit any target any way.
