Not at all actually. Liberal ideologies like to dress up things like racism as moral and emotional hate-based, but discrimination and oppression often has economic roots. US slavery itself existed purely for economic reasons. Further oppression was to concentrate wealth in white society.

Yet these are recognized by straight people as racism, but straight people don’t recognize, let’s be fair, anything at all as discrimination against gay people.

That doesn't explain why you couldn't put a gun to your neighbors head and keep him as a slave in america. Theres without doubt a racial component to who could be a slave and whow couldnt

Long ago it was most certainly racial. However, these days what we see is mostly economic effects. This is why anti-discrimination efforts don't change things--it's not discrimination in the first place.
