And yes we've debated that before (and covered history as well) and I still don't see why the two words should be treated differently. For me the only difference is that black people have managed to fight for their position to be heard and taken seriously, queer people obviously have a ways to go. :/
Difficult to make simple comparisons given the way both groups are treated in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe & Russia and China.
