By the way, the answer is 'yes'

In an article annoyingly entitled 'Is Gay Marriage Like Civil Rights?', we get the following gem of a quote:

But the Rev. William Owens - who favors the ban - has a different opinion of gays and lesbians who say they are fighting for justice.

"They haven't hung from any trees," he said. "They can get a job anywhere they want to. They can get an education. They've always had the right. Marriage is the issue. So it's not a civil rights issue. I marched for civil rights."

Of course, Mr. Owens. Everyone knows that when the Declaration of Independence talks about "unalienable rights", it means that a person's rights are only commensurate with the amount of suffering that whatever group he's a member of had to endure in the past. And it's not like gays ever had any hardships, no sir!
