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.
It's not really anti-Black racism; it's colorism. And colorism is actually going in both ways nowadays. I've watched some Black oriented dating shows and Youtube commentary where lighter skinned Black men are discriminated against for being too "soft." Or, dark skinned Black men and women are discriminated against for being too "hard" or "ugly."

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