138. Funny--you just made that comparison very nicely.

"Can we learn from each others experiences? ABSOLUTELY!"

"I don't need to think its the same to know that bigotry and discrimination against ANYONE is wrong."

I'm only offended by the easy dismissal implied by phrasing such as "BUT THE STRUGGLES ARE DIFFERENT." Comparisons are very useful, and should give us the common ground you seem almost ready to accept in the struggle. Is there really a point to looking for differences in personal experiences, when what we're fighting against is the common, ugly root of all that hatred?
