Wasn’t the point more that Evangelical is the “new gay” (by which they presumably meant that they are the latest group to move from the fringe to the mainstream)? At any rate, the comparison is a difficult one, and reinforces the persecuted minority complex that Evangelicals tend to have, in spite of the key differences between Evangelicals as a group and gays as a group. Has practicing Evangelicalism been illegal at any point in the past century in the U.S.? Have people marched around with signs saying “God hates Evangelicals”? The comparison is certainly not a straightforward one.
