I the drive to write fanfic is nothing like being gay, because one is an action, the other is a state of being. It's still a piss-poor analogy. And how you keep missing this point positively boggles my mind.
Now, if you said "the drive to write" is an intrinsic part of someone's personality and psyche and affects the way one views the world, you'd have a better argument. I probably would still think you're overstating your case (i.e. the drive to write = equality marriage) but I could actually see something in it, especially since the Committee to Protect Journalists keeps a running tab of journalists who've been disappeared or killed because of what they write.
However, comparing reporter deaths worldwide and/or gay marriage to fanfiction is really overstating the case and obscuring whatever argument you're trying to make.
What I'm trying to say here is that this course of argument is not helping you at all. You seriously need to step back and really rethink the argument, and argument you've already admitted was an exaggerated one.
