Yes, they are not the same.

Deal with it.

Also, in Italy until 1981, it was legal for a husband to kill anyone he caught in bed with his spouse. I'm sure some people were upset when those rights were taken away too.

... I think my head has just exploded.

... hello, there were times when homosexuality was punished with death, like, everywhere in the Western world - and even in the XXth century, it was illegal and punished *just* with imprisonment. Ever heard of KL Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps? Homosexual people were there as well.
