Rights aren't supposed to be created, they're already there, the government's role is to protect them. Obama hasn't created any new rights either. All he's done is extend the power of the federal government in regulating hospitals, the vast majority of whom already allow gays to visit each other. It's just ludicrous to suggest that gays were an oppressed minority until Obama came in.
1) Gays now have visitation rights.
2) Citizens now have the right to healthcare without having to worry about pre-existing conditions.
