I disagree. Feminism is a much louder and more pernicious blight forced on American Christianity. Homosexuals are merely mimicking the successful female strategies of obnoxious noise and total disregard for God's clearly stated place for women.

Granted, since radical feminism came first, it makes sense that later movements (homosexuality, liberation theology, emergent church, etc) would try to imitate its methods. However, I would argue that the original core of feminism— that women are equally valuable to God and to society, though often they are gifted differently— is very much a Biblical concept, rather than a “blight forced on American Christianity.” Likewise, the core of the civil rights movement emphasizes racial equality, a positive concept if applied equitably across the board. The difference is that there’s no “good” or “innocuous” version of homosexuality, regardless of the efforts of various “Christian” groups to make it mainstream. So, while it’s not the only threat to serious Christianity, it’s serious enough that we can’t simply write it off.
Yet, I must say that the cause of feminism lays at the feet of men themselves. In MEN’s ‘total disregard for God's clearly stated place’ for MEN! Men, instead of loving their wives as commanded, and dying to themselves, as Christ died for the Church; instead of treating their wives the way they wanted to be treated, they treat them like servants or pets. Instead of submitting “one to another” as commanded in scripture...they insist on being obeyed and catered to. Men are commanded in the Bible, clearly, to “love their wives as Christ loved the church”. Christ died for the sins of the Church. Christ served his church, and washed the feet of the first members. Christ also, was faithful to the church, even when they were not faithful to him. Jesus never left the church no matter how annoying they were, or how they disappointed Him. He never expected the church to wait on him. And Christ never forced anyone to follow him or love him. He never demanded his rightful place.
We all need to remember our roles.
