What he is talking about here is the weird proposition that gays asking 
for laws to protect them from the special persecution society bothers 
them with is somehow asking to get special privaledges that "normal" 
citizens don't get.  Implying wrongly and foolishly that Gays are asking 
to become "privaledged characters" in America.
  They are not asking for special privaldges of course.  Just not to be 
persecuted for being gay.  This is about as foolish an arguement about 
gays as Phyllis Shlaffly's contention that the ERA would mandate unisex
toilets throughout America.  It would be laughable and risible if so many 
idiots did not really believe such stupid "arguements".
