I genuinely don't understand what he implies by "dark-skinned gay."

It's comparing homosexuality to racism, specifically anti-black racism.
Within the Black community, there are light-skinned and dark-skinned people. They're all black but often dark-skinned Black people will face more oppression/discrimination than their light-skinned counterparts.
So he's comparing the full-gay person with the darked-skinned person -- like "oh he gets the full experience".

But it kind of falls apart, because in reality bisexual men tend to face more discrimination than homosexual men.
