*sigh*

LGBT homeless youth
HIV prevention
Banning 'reparative' therapy
Trans bill of rights
National ENDA

There are homeless youth regardless of sexual orientation. Why the focus on gay homeless youth instead of the wider problem?
HIV harms millions of people, regardless of sexual orientation.
Obama is already working against such a vile practice.
Rights don't come in bunches.
States Rights issue.

*sigh*

I'm sick and tired of the issue of "group rights." There is no such thing as collective rights.

You may not want to talk about it, but these are still issues and will come up in a campaign.

The way Pence handled the 'religious freedom' thing a couple of weeks ago has wiped out talk of him jumping into the race.

Rick Perry got into trouble talking about repartive therapy after the TX GOP platform endorsed it (comparing homosexuality to alcoholism).

And ENDA is quite clearly a national issue as it has been debated on and off in the US Congress for the last two decades.

Sorry, but gay rights is clearly not going away, even after the Supreme Court makes gay marriage legal nationwide. In fact, that might ignite the other debates even further as it will inspire the left to push for more rights and inspire the right to push for 'religious freedom' bills and other ways to 'fix' the problem of expanding gay rights (just like they have done to curtail abortion rights after Roe).
I do want to talk about the issue, and I am a big supporter of gay rights. What I oppose is another Hillary hack thread about how she is some type of lone wolf progressive visionary. She is not. Numerous other politicians have fought for gay rights in a much more open way than Hillary has.
