I agree that gays have done nothing wrong but I think Russ's point is that CV perceive them as doing wrong and, therefore, in their (to my mind warped) world view promotion of 'rights' is also wrong.
I'm not sure what they mean by promoting 'rights'. Having equal opportunities policies is not the same as promoting rights so having a pop at the Police is totally out of order. Gay police men and women going on the Pride march is no doubt promotion to CV - I see it more as protection of rights.
