I liked your post. Do you have any suggestions about getting RIGHTS for others properly codified. This is where it get touchy, right ? You wrote: So what rights do we really have? We have the rights that are specified in the Constitution and in law. Those rights are enforceable. If they're not enforceable, we can claim until we're blue in the face and all we have is a claim and a raw throat. I appreciate your wanting rights for gays. I think they should have them, too. But for them to be real they must be appropriately codified somewhere. Claiming a right doesn't make it real. Perceiving that the right should exist does not make it real. Getting rights appropriately codified is a necessary and complicated process that taxes the patience of those who want to just "make it so."
