[h3]The contendings of Horus and Seth[/h3]
One of the most famous displays of homosexuality in Ancient Egypt is in the battle for kingship between the Gods Horus and Set. It is told in a story known as The Contendings of Horus and Seth. In one part of this story Set invites Horus to his house, and in the evening a bed is prepared for the both of them. In a shrewd plan Horus manages to catch the semen of Set and disposes of it. He then goes to his mother who comes up with an idea to trick Set into ingesting Horus' semen by placing it in a lettuce, which was Set's favourite food. In the end, the god Thoth declares that the semen of Horus comes-forth; Set is humiliated and loses his fight for the throne.[sup][2][/sup]

From the tomb of Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep.
Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum were ancient Egyptian royal servants and are believed by some to be the first recorded same-sex couple in history.[sup][6][/sup] The proposed homosexual nature of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum has been commented on the popular press, and the idea seems to (partially) stem from the depictions of the two men standing nose to nose and embracing.[sup][7][/sup][sup][8][/sup] Niankhkhnum's wife, depicted in a banquet scene, was almost completely erased in ancient times, and in other pictures Khnumhotep occupies the position usually designated for a wife. Their official titles were "Overseers of the Manicurists of the Palace of the King". [sup][9][/sup]
Critics argue that both men appear with their respective wives and children, suggesting the men were brothers, rather than lovers.[sup][2][/sup][sup][1[/sup]

So to help your argument that two things can't be compared, Anton shows a picture of gay guys being hanged for "looking at boys" and you show a picture of black guys being hanged for "looking at a white girl". Is this an ironic way of arguing that two things can't be compared?
Everyone has already said that they are not the same in severity, that doesn't mean they aren't comparable. The civil rights era was an important time in human history. We all learn from it and we use it as a reference so we don't forget what we learned. Discrimination is a hard thing to understand from a subjective viewpoint. White people back then thought it was okay to discriminate against black people, they obviously had reference points to human indecency in history but they probably dismissed it as incomparable. Fact is that we can't do that. Once we do, we let our biases flood in a lot more then they should.

im not telling them to go hide, im saying the choice is theres point blank. I have acknowledged there struggle, or lack there of. But in this country let be honest most of you are pointing out extreme cases of gay bashing to draw a point on how much the gay community has gone through. With this logic you can make a case for anyone's struggles by looking at extreme cases, people get discriminated or beat for a number of reason. Fight there fight, but dont compare. The attention brought to the gay community and there so called struggle shocks me.Originally Posted by TennHouse2
lol being homosexual isnt illegal either, but uv still been spewing nonsense saying that they should hide it....how are u not understanding that these are CIVIL RIGHTS issues, im not saying what they went through is as bad or worse then what we black people had to go through, but its still civil rights issues. and you really cant believe the only thing theyve gone through is the fight for gay marriage, even in this thread there have been plenty of examples of people being beatin, tortured, hung, and just plain discriminated against for being gay.Originally Posted by ballislife32688

Ok if homosexuals walk down the street its not illegal, I dont care what you do, my point is how can you compare gay rights to civil rights in any way. What are they fighting for rights to marriage, really this all you got to compare. its not close
