You're being obtuse. Are you trying to say that minorities oppressing a different minority is somehow relevant? It isn't. That is completely within the normal (and bad) operating parameters of human nature.
HN's stupid anti-flame wankery won't let me respond to you, but the point of this parable in this context is that a person caught a break, then immediately turned around and oppressed someone less fortunate. Based on the way you seem to be parsing things, I honestly don't expect you to get this.
I'm saying that equating being gay with being a member of a racial minority is a false equivalence. Also, equating segregation with marriage is a false equivalence. These aren't radical opinions. They are shared by the majority of Americans and the majority of Californians, including racial minorities.
Since you brought it up, the parable you cited is a parable about forgiving people, not bigotry or oppression. A better parable about bigotry is The Good Samaritan [1]. It's not common knowledge, but the Samaritans were an ethnic underclass. The story is the answer to the question "Who is my neighbor?"
How the hell is that a false equivalence, unless you are one of those people that assumes homosexuality is a choice - which I think all rational people believe it is not.
I guess, what I'm saying is, I don't follow your logic on the lack of equivalence. Please explain.
It even got its very own parable:
