its not a battle between genocides dude. bad things are bad things.
and its not comparable to begin with. the one side talks about severe discrimination over hundreds of years, whereas your arguments are more short-term and violent explosions and not your typical example for racism. especially holocaust because there is not a physical "race" of jews.

Couple points:
1- If your whole argument that marriage is a sacred covenant that only means on thing to everyone you're living under a fucking rock. Marriage means something different to absolutely everyone who gets married; for some it means dedication, to others it means any one of the infinite definitions of love, to most of the world it means producing offspring, to a lot of Westerners it means someone to be with for the next 7 years (average length of a marriage in America). In a lot of places in the world marriage means an non-consenting young girl being signed over from her family to an older man who she knows little about.
The definition of marriage throughout history has never been a concrete thing, there have been competing definitions across cultures since the beginning of civilization and I would be beyond shocked if that ever changed.
Saying "OMG BUT BUT THEY'RE CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE!!1" Is like complaining about the release of Vanilla Coke; Classic Coke isn't going anywhere, you're just uncomfortable with change.
2-Yes, you do have the right to your own opinion on this matter. Keep in mind though that as one of the stragglers to get on board with such a black and white issue you're going to get called out pretty damn hard for sharing you're ill-conceived thoughts; it's not the 80's.
3-If something that means everything to millions of people, while at the same time makes absolutely no significant impact to your life makes you feel the need to speak up and speak against it... Well you're either a bigot or a fucking idiot.
4-I know everyone loves pictures so here are some clearly unnatural animals having gay sex with each other.

discrimination is hating people for reasons other than character. slavery has been around longer than there has been black people slavery, and there still will be slavery around the world no matter what. and what should it matter over a short "blast of time" i would have rather been a slave then a jew in the holocaust.

Because ski season is over.... And EVERY year around this time, without fail, a thread about gay people pops up and shit hits the fan for at least 10 pages.

Those aren't at all comparable to the long-term institutionalized racism in the US. They weren't/aren't good by any means, but they aren't the same thing. Right now, we have socially implemented racism but not governmentally. We haven't really made any progress since the civil rights movement in the US, though.

who gives a fuck about what other people do.. Its not your problem! but denying someone to marry another that they love is a fucking problem! who says you get to deiced if they can get married or not. and if its "against" your fucking religion for them to get married fucking separation of church and state. I could give one less of a shit if two "flaming" guys are sitting across from me in Wendys because why the fuck should i be at wendys that place is a shit hole so suck a cock and mind your on business
