Uh, I hate to be a condescending douche, but the reason that works as a satire of homophobia is not because it's over the top, but because gay people have never been excluded from voting and paying taxes. I'd venture to say it's literally impossible to be able to read and understand that billboard without recognizing that it is, indeed, sarcasm. (It's also an old-ass joke into which "gay people getting married" has been inserted, but even without that it couldn't be more obvious.)
As for heterosexual privilege this is rife with, of course, I'm not seeing it. And let's face it, becoming a demographic to be courted by the "capitalist classes" is a sign of equality in this day and age.
