Race vs Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

First, sexual orientation and gender identity are linked to actions, which are a proper subject matter for moral evaluation, and race is not.  Second, race manifests itself readily, whereas sexual orientation and gender identity are ambiguous, subjective, and variable traits. Third, special privileges based on sexual orientation and gender identity undermine the common good by weakening a marriage culture, while protections against racism do not.
