As long as we, as a society, continue to draw special attention to people that are different than the majority?  No one will ever truly be "equal".  It's almost like listing them as *equal.

There's something to that. It's just, gay people aren't just different, but many still view them as inferior, or sick, or an abdomination - and act on those beliefs. Signs of tolerance for a minority (like jerseys) aren't moot as long as these treatments still prevail in a society. It's about normalization by means of special attention, not about special attention for special attentions' worth.
