I never compared the two on that level.

I said, if you'd bother to comprehend, it's someone blindly thinking their own experience is the same for others and dismissing others plights in a flippant manner.

The LGBT people I know have experiences more like mine than something from the 1980s, but I concede not everyone is as lucky as we were. Even then, one was bullied, but that's because he was a twat, being gay didn't come into it.
