you still haven't explained why comparing racism and homophobia as different forms of prejudice is wrong. evidently you don't like the comparison but you've not yet explained why you feel it's not apropriate.
Let me help you out with your little cause, for example...
"This is James. He's a painter, and a very good one. He may not have everything in common with you, and that's okay. We just hope that you respect his differences, and he will do the same for you."
well, okay. what cause was that again?
"Nice to meet you James. I'm a student, and a very good one. I may not have everything in common with you, and that's okay. I just hope you'll be able to avoid talking homophobic bollocks, and I'll do the same for you."
Err...yes.
This is a better way of saying it, other than referring to me as "strange", it works out much better. Trust me, I'm sorry to hear of it. Really I do think it's awful that people can be so rude. I don't take conservative stances on issues because I am one of those people. I take them because I believe in who and what I'm voting for. If you can take the time to tell me apart from them, I would appreciate it.
Fine, you're sorry to hear about the amount of prejudice that LGBT people face every single day. But you're still going to go about perpetuating that prejudice by claiming homosexuality is sinful. I'm not saying someone who sits behind a computer screen typing homophobic comments is the same as the person who stands outside an LGBT clubnight and screams insults at people as they leave, but you all share the same belief - that there's something wrong or sinful about being gay and in that respect I make no distinction between the two.
