Oppression is an exercise of power. The majority can exercise unintentional power on the minority through both having negative opinions about the majority and being ignorant of the consequences of expressing those opinions in a way that doesn't take the realities of the minority's situation into account.
I've recently been made aware of one Franzt Fanon, who was a black man from then French Martinique who fought the French in Algeria, and he says that black people had/have to create like their own little white person in their head because if they weren't/aren't painfully aware of how everything they did/do might appear to a white person then they can get in serious trouble.
I imagine gay people have to do the same thing, and it is oppression because they then have to either alter their behavior or choose to roll the dice and hope they don't get curb stomped by a redneck.

Your false equivalences fail. And you'll have to excuse me if I don't take moral and ethical advice from someone who fantasizes about raping aborted babies.

Now who can't take a joke?
If you think that's all you're saying then you need to start recording yourself and hearing the playback.
