No. The distinction is that neo-nazis chose to follow a hateful ideology. Gay people did not choose to be gay. I’m not supporting denial of service, in fact I think nobody should be denied service. I’m just pointing out that the equivalence is not right.

Why is hard for you to comprehend that I’m not advocating any form of censorship or denial of service? I’m saying the equivalence is wrong.
Right, and we're saying that it's correct... how someone joined a particular class/group shouldn't effect how that class/group is treated.

Were socialists calling for the eradication of a class of people based on race or born characteristics? No. These neonazis were, and it breaches the barrier of free speech. Yelling fire in a crowded theater, light years tamer, also is.
Western society, including the Supreme Court, has decided free speech ends where harm to others begins.
