Sitting on your hands and not speaking up does nothing...
The noise makers in the civil rights movement increased racial strife, not decreased it. It was the clear headed thinking moralists like Martin Luther King who made the real progress.
Marching in big demonstrations with giant inflatable penises isn't going to win anyone over to one's side.

Big demonstrations have their purpose. They bring peoples attention to the fact that there is a problem. In the case of homosexuals it shatters people's belief that it the gay community is a small number of people not worthy of being accommodated.
When you see millions of people get together in order to make a point it’s quite shaking. Do you remember all that business with the Mexican demonstrations a few months ago? They showed up in force in almost every big city. They scared the crap out of the politicians.

Mexico is going to hell. The whole political structure is collapsing into anarchy. Not exactly an example I would want to use for civil rights progress.

Mexico has always had a screwed up government, but that is besides the point.

But neither does one choose his/her sexual preference nor does one choose his/her natural hair color. It is a valid comparison.
And why should people hide their true hair color? Just so shallow society accepts 'em?

Well, keepin' the mouth shut won't get them accepted anytime soon.

Ya. Although they were "relaxed" with other things too, such as slavery, I think what you posted can be seen as a positive example.

You're shifting the burden of proof. You make the accusation, you prove it.

Likewise you can hide the fact that you are gay. But just like you're blonde underneath your brown hair-dye, you are homosexual under your gay facade.
