I guess I'm just having trouble verbalizing my thoughts on this.
I'm not stating gays have it easy, because I would not wish to be afflicted with the orientation.

But the black analogy is also poor. Blackness is a full genetic condition; orientation is a complex mechanism, and it's not binary.

Do you agree that the only logical change would be the elimination of the LoC, which is unlikely to happen?
