Let me know when gay people are made slaves in this country for a couple hundred years, and then you might have a case.  In the meantime, gay "slurs" don't come anywhere near the hate level that black people have endured in this country for generations.  I'm not saying there isn't violence against gays, there obviously is.  I saw Torch Song Trilogy, and Brokeback Mountain. Those kinds of stories are too real.  
 
Like I said earlier in this post, I have probably half a dozen gay friends who I met through my wife who, like me, are around 50 years old.  And I'm sure that none of them are as worked up about Mike Rice as some of you guys are.  They are more concerned with things like equal rights, and ACTUAL gay bashing and gay-directed hate speech.  Mike Rice's actions had NOTHING AT ALL to do with actual gay people, and whether he actually thought any of his players were gay.  
 
And to finish the comparison, NO ONE AT ALL calls people "niggers" in the way that people use faggot, puszy and wimp, etc., or with similar meaning.
